Contraception was the subject of intense controversy in
twentieth-century Ireland. Banned in 1935 and stigmatised by the
Catholic Church, it was the focus of some of the most polarised
debates before and after its legalisation in 1979. This is the
first comprehensive, dedicated history of contraception in Ireland
from the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922 to the
1990s. Drawing on the experiences of Irish citizens through a wide
range of archival sources and oral history, Laura Kelly provides
insights into the lived experiences of those negotiating family
planning, alongside the memories of activists who campaigned for
and against legalisation. She highlights the influence of the
Catholic Church's teachings and legal structures on Irish life
showing how, for many, sex and contraception were obscured by
shame. Yet, in spite of these constraints, many Irish women and men
showed resistance in accessing contraceptive methods. This title is
also available as Open Access.
