- Description
- Stella Browne’s life was an experiment in new possibilities. Passionately committed to socialism, feminism and the rights of the indvidual, she promoted a radical vision of the sexual reform of society. Hall sets her into the context of her progressive times and friends and associates, including Edward Carpenter, Rebecca West, Havelock Ellis, Dora Russell and Winifred Holtby.She relates how Stella Browne overturned many assumptions about women in the early twentieth century. How at a time when even birth control was barely mentionable, she publicly argued for women’s access to safe abortion, revealed to a government committee that she herself had undergone this then illegal operation, and co-founded the Abortion Law Reform Association. She was a militant suffragette, campaigned for pacifism during the Great War, joined the new British Communist Party then left over its indifference to birth control. She was a dedicated internationalist, perhaps the first British women to speak publicly on lesbianism, and practised what she preached, living the free love she advocated.

- Description
- This book traces the history of contraception use and population management in colonial India, while illuminating its connection to contemporary debates in India and birth control movements in Great Britain and the United States. Ahluwalia draws attention to the interactive and relational history of Indian birth control by including western activists such as Margaret Sanger and Marie Stopes alongside important Indian campaigners. In revealing the elitist politics of middle-class feminists, Indian nationalists, western activists, colonial authorities and the medical establishment, Ahluwalia finds similatities between these groups in rationalizing procreation and regulating women while invoking competing notions of freedom, femininity, and family.

- Description
- This book narrates the development of the new companionate marriage ideal, which took hold in the early twentieth century and prevailed in American society by the 1940s. The first challenges to discuss sexual relations between husbands and wives came from social hygiene reformers, who advocated for a sex education to combat prostitution and venereal disease. A more radical group of feminists, anarchists, and bohemians opposed the Victorian model of marriage and even the institution of marriage. Birth control advocates such as Emma Goldman and Margaret Sanger openly championed women's rights to acquire and use effective contraception. The 'companionate marriage' emerged from these efforts. This marital ideal was characterized by greater emotional and sexuality intimacy for both men and women, use of birth control to create smaller families, and destigmatization of divorce in cases of failed unions. Simmons examines what she calls the 'flapper' marriage, in which free-spirited young wives enjoyed the early years of marriage, postponing children and domesticity. She looks at the feminist marriage in which women imagined greater equality between the sexes in domestic and paid work and sex. And she explores the African American 'partnership marriage,' which often included wives' employment and drew more heavily on the involvement of the community and extended family.
