Book summary

Lucy Bland describes the private and public debates, the campaigns, and the struggles among early feminists to resolve issues of morality, sex education, prostitution, birth control, and marital reform. Drawing on a wide variety of hitherto unpublished materials, Bland takes us into the fascinating debates of English society in the decades before World War I--debates that are still very much with us. Then, as now, contradictions abound, and Bland shows persuasively how the problems the early feminists faced live on in the sexual politics of today.
