Zustand: VERY GOOD. First US printing. A detailed look at the trial of Marie Stopes, who in 1921 opened the first birth control clinic in the British empire.

Although she ultimately lost the third and final decision in the House of Lords, she succeeded in bringing the topic of birth control into the open. Includes the transcripts of the trials. Frontispiece portrait. 392 pp. Very good in a good only dust jacket (edgewear to the dj).
