Millions American college girls and women simply called it as “the Pill” since it received approval from America’s Food and Drug Administration on May 9, 1960. Medical experts believe that the pill (birth control pill) has drastically changed American women life during the past 50 years. Millions young women are able to go to higher education, to be employed in corporations, and be able to plan the size of family that they really can care of.
HealthDay News quoted Dr. John Preston Parry who said "No medication has come close to the birth control pill in terms of social, political and medical impact. In terms of career opportunities [for women], it's had more of an impact than anything else. The proportion of women pursuing medical careers has gone from about 10 percent to close to 50 percent."
