Sex and Society
First published in 1968, Sex and Society presents and analyses the code of sexual behaviour based on the universal use of contraceptive methods. It includes discussion of all forms of sexual activity, and emphasises in particular the attitudes that should be adopted in sex education. Backed up by case histories, and including details of reforms in abortion and homosexual law, this book sheds light on a topic which continues to cause concern in modern times. The author had been in active contact with all kinds of sexual problems for over thirty years in her professional clinic practice, and in her travels in India, Poland and Denmark teaching contraceptive techniques to doctors and nurses. Her experience as a Founder Member of the International Planned Parenthood Federation and participation in all the International and Regional Conferences gave her a very wide knowledge of sexual and social problems throughout the world. This book will be of interest to students of medicine, sexuality studies, psychology, gender studies, and health.

The Real Facts Of Life
During the last twenty years feminist research into the history of sexuality has made important contributions to the theoretical understanding of the relationship between sexuality and male power. When sexology became established as a science, feminists had for many years been engaged in a struggle to change male sexuality, by waging campaigns against male sexual violence and abuse of women and children; by challenging the institutions of marriage and prostitution; and by asserting in theory and in practice the right to female sexual autonomy.

The Family Planning Association and Contraceptive Science and Technology in Mid-Twentieth-Century Britain
This book offers the first in-depth investigation into the relationship between the National Birth Control Association, later the Family Planning Association, and contraceptive science and technology in the pre-Pill era. It explores the Association’s role in designing and supporting scientific research, employment of scientists, engagement with manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies, and use of its facilities, patients, staff, medical, scientific, and political networks to standardise and guarantee contraceptive technology it prescribed and produced. By taking a micro-history approach to the archives of the Association, this book highlights the importance of this organisation to the history of science, technology, and medicine in twentieth-century Britain. It examines the Association’s participation within Western family planning networks, working particularly closely with its American counterparts to develop chemical and biological means of testing contraception for efficacy, quality, and safety.
