    Description

    Early Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

    First published in 1923, this is the enlarged second edition, with sixty pages of new material.

    In the publisher’s original unclipped dust wrapper.

    Illustrated with five plates. Collated, complete.

    Described as ‘a manual for the medical and legal professions’, Stopes explains in detail birth control methods and the benefits that their widespread uses could have on the state.

    Stopes was a campaigner for eugenics and women's rights, and founded the first birth control clinic in Britain.

    This was one of the first detailed guides on contraception in the English language, aiming to provide scientifically accurate and accessible information on family planning. Her work played a significant role in advancing reproductive rights for women.

    Pencil and ink annotations to chapter discussing objections to birth control.
