Download or read book Margery Spring Rice: Pioneer of Women’s Health in the Early Twentieth Century written by Lucy Pollard and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-24 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book vividly presents the story of Margery Spring Rice, an instrumental figure in the movements of women’s health and family planning in the first half of the twentieth century. Margery Spring Rice, née Garrett, was born into a family of formidable female trailblazers – niece of physician and suffragist Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, and of Millicent Fawcett, a leading suffragist and campaigner for equal rights for women. Margery Spring Rice continued this legacy with her co-founding of the North Kensington birth control clinic in 1924, three years after Marie Stopes founded the first clinic in Britain. Engaging and accessible, this biography weaves together Spring Rice’s personal and professional lives, adopting a chronological approach which highlights how the one impacted the other. Her life unfolds against the turbulent backdrop of the early twentieth century – a period which sees the entry of women into higher education, and the upheaval and societal upshots of two world wars. Within this context, Spring Rice emerges as a dynamic figure who dedicated her life to social causes, and whose actions time and again bear out her habitual belief that, contrary to the Shakespearian dictum, ‘valour is the better part of discretion’. This is the first biography of Margery Spring Rice, drawing extensively on letters, diaries and other archival material, and equipping the text with family trees and photographs. It will be of great interest to a range of social historians, especially those researching the birth control movement; female friendships, female philanthropists, and feminist activism in the twentieth century; and the history of medicine and public health.

Download or read book Passionate Crusader written by Ruth E. Hall and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt P. This book was released on 1977 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1935 a panel of American academics compiled a list of the world's most influential modern books, and among the names of well-known authors -- Marx, Lenin, Einstein, Freud -- was one less well-remembered: Dr. Marie C. Stopes. Who was Marie Stopes? At a time when public discussion of sexual matters was tantamount to an admission of private depravity, Marie Stopes (a paleobotanist by training) wrote Married Love, published in 1918, a sexual manifesto that scandalized and awakened twentieth century consciousness with its precise physiological descriptions and its unblushing declaration of married women's rights to full sexual enjoyment; At a time when the guardians of public morality decreed that sex was something women should stoically bear in ignorance, Marie Stopes decreed that the one thing women should not have to bear was unwanted children; and Marie Stopes devoted her life to lecturing, instrucing women and their husbands, establishing birth control clinics, attacking the religious, social and political institutions that denied women's rights, and winning the support of liberal thinkers and spokesmen, among whom were George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, and Arnold Bennett; In contrast to her cooly brilliant scientific writings and the relentless logic displayed in her books about sex and marriage, Marie Stopes was driven in her middle years to express publicly her own personal and sexual disappointments in excessively romantic, sometimes erotic verse and autobiographical plays; Marie Stopes, despite all her scientific knowledge, was a sexual innocent until her mid-thirties. This ignorance coupled with her obsession with "ideal" love resulted in a first marriage that remained unconsummated after five years. Marie Stopes: an extraordinary woman, an eccentric woman, a contradictory woman, a twentieth century Joan of Arc. A woman who transformed her own personal struggles into a movement that came to be known as a revolution just a decade after her death in 1958. Passionate Crusader is an intimate, inspired biography, written with grace and wit, as readable as any novel. Readers will come to know the fascinating story of Marie Stopes as well as they know the lives of Anna Karenina, Emma Bovary or Ibsen's Nora.

Download or read book The Role of Women in the History of Geology written by Cynthia V. Burek and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2007 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a first as it unravels the diverse roles women have played in the history and development of geology as a science predominantly in the UK, Ireland and Australia, and selectively in Germany, Russia and US. The volume covers the period from the late eighteenth century to the present day and shows how the roles that women have played changed with time. These included illustrators, museum collectors and curators, educationalists, researchers and geologists. Originally as wives, sisters or mothers many were assistants to their male relatives. This book looks at all these forgotten women and for the first time historians and scientists together explore the contribution they made to this male-dominated subject.

Book excerpt: Some of these women knew isolation through their dedication to duty, and others through their immersion in writing, painting, or politics. Some juggled with fantasy worlds in which they could end up stranded. Others learned the fine art of survival, fighting illness, hard childhoods, or a hostile public. All of them, whether trying to construct a life or a work of art -- or both -- suggest ways in which women can choose, learn, laugh, invent, dare, and of course wholeheartedly love or hate.
