	American Experience \| The Pill \| People & Events
		Pincus was working on the fringes of the academic and scientific community, and little of his situation suggested that he could pull off such an enormous undertaking.
		In 1936 Pincus published a seminal work titled, "The Eggs of Mammals" that received wide acclaim in the international scientific community -- but it was too late to erase the taint of the test-tube rabbits.
		Pincus was aware of a study showing that progesterone could work as an effective anti-ovulent, and he had a hunch it would prove to be a good contraceptive drug.
