The Crime of Birth Control

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  02 January 2025

Extract

Two dates in the present year are likely to be of great moment to the historians of this country. On Thursday, March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day) there was opened at 61 Marlborough Road, Holloway, N., the first “Mothers’ Clinic for Birth Control.” Its founders were “Humphrey Verdon Roe and his wife, Marie Carmichael Stopes, D.Sc., Ph.D.”

On Tuesday, May 31, the Queen’s Hall held a large and sympathetic audience at a “Meeting convened by Dr. Marie Stopes, author of Married Love, Wise Parenthood, and Radiant Motherhood, on the theme of Constructive Birth Control: its Ideals and Helpfulness to the Individual and to the Race.”
