In the past several years, a new trend has emerged where women in increasingly growing numbers are becoming hesitant to accept the risks associated with hormonal and invasive methods of birth control. It is as part of this trend that a revival of sorts is occurring with the cervical cap, a form of birth control with roots which precede recorded history and which, in its modern form, was widely advocated in late 19th and early 20th century Europe. Based on the principle of occlusion, the cervical cap appears effective and risk-free, both vital concerns to women of all centuries. Women's health activists and organizations have been in the forefront of this revival. Two of the first organizations to take an active interest in making the cap available were the New Hampshire Feminist Health Center in Concord, New Hampshire, and the Emma Goldman Women's Health Clinic in Iowa City, Iowa. The National Women's Health Network, a national organization based in Washington, D.C., has also been an active advocate on the cervical cap's behalf.
在过去几年中，出现了一种新趋势，越来越多的女性开始对接受与激素和侵入性避孕方法相关的风险持犹豫态度。正是在这一趋势的背景下，宫颈帽某种程度上正在复兴，宫颈帽作为一种避孕方式，其根源可追溯到有记录的历史之前，并且在现代形式下，在19世纪末和20世纪初的欧洲得到广泛倡导。基于阻塞原理，宫颈帽似乎有效且无风险，这两个重要问题一直是各个世纪女性所关心的。女性健康活动家和组织一直处于这场复兴的前沿。最早积极关注提供宫颈帽的两个组织是新罕布什尔州康科德的新罕布什尔女权主义健康中心和爱荷华州爱荷华城的艾玛·戈德曼女性健康诊所。总部位于华盛顿特区的全国性组织全国女性健康网络也一直积极倡导宫颈帽。
