Refining title further...

I finally settled on the title:

The Freedom Drug: how did the widespread availability of the Pill empower women's choices in the UK? 

I decided on this for a variety of reasons:
  • "widespread availability"- the report is a study of the effects of the Pill in the UK, studying the period from 1960 onwards where the Pill experiences unprecedented popularity. The role of the NHS is also important in providing free contraception from 1974 onwards....
  • "empower"- by choosing the word "empower" I was making the distinction that the Pill enabled women to have increased choices
  • "choices"- choices refers to the right or power to undertake new opportunities that the Pill enabled. 
  • "UK"- the effects of the Pill will be limited to the UK as I found out that I touched on the subject of the Pill in my A2 History COurse in America. By restricting the geographic location I ensure that there is no crossover.
