'The proper course for those not desiring to bring children into
the world is to practise complete and perfect continence in sex
matters, or risk an eternity being smuthered in burning ordure.'
Such opinions, regrettably, are all too common in 1925, and they
are anathema to Amber Haldane, doughty campaigner for contraceptive
rights. Amber wishes to free normal sex life from the shadows of
repression and nasty-mindedness, and in the course of soliciting
contributions for her campaigning periodical 'The Birth Control
Monthly, ' she encounters the luminaries of the age: H.G. Wells,
preoccupied by the appearance of mysterious green spheres in his
apple trees; Havelock Ellis, architect of a sexological community
in far-flung Japan; and Wilhel Reich, a valued colleague whose
theory of orgastic potency is fundamentally misleading, damaging
and wrong
