After the granting of the vote to women in 1918, the struggle for
women's rights intensified with a nationwide campaign for the right
to birth control. This campaign was met with a great deal of
hostility; it threatened to overturn Victorian ideas about female
sexuality, female empowerment and the traditional roles within the
family. The most well known of the campaigners, scientist and early
feminist Marie Stopes, opened clinics across England which fitted
'contraception caps' to women for free. The first history of this
grassroots social movement, "Birth Control and the Rights of Women"
offers a window into the social and cultural history of the period,
and features new archival material in the forms of memoirs,
personal papers and press cuttings. This is an essential
contribution to the influential field of women's history and a
vital addition to the history of feminism.
