Sexual Progressives is a major new study of the feminists and
socialists who campaigned against the moral conservatism of the
Victorian period. Drawing on a range of sources, from letters and
diaries to radical newspapers and utopian novels, it provides the
first group portrait of Scotland's hitherto neglected sexual
rebels. They include Bella and Charles Pearce, prominent Glasgow
socialists and disciples of an American-based mystic who taught
that religion needed 're-sexed'; Jane Hume Clapperton, a feminist
freethinker with advanced views on birth-control and women's right
to sexual pleasure; and Patrick Geddes, founder of an avant-garde
Edinburgh subculture and co-author of an influential scientific
book on sex. A consideration of their lives and work forces a
reappraisal of our understanding of British sexual progressivism
during this period and will therefore be of interest to all
historians of modern gender and sexuality. -- .
