First edition, first printing, of this significant contribution to the US birth control debate. Mary Ware Dennett (1872-1947) was a psychologist and suffragist who in 1919 wrote a sex education pamphlet for teenagers titled The Sex Side of Life. It was printed in a medical journal and then self-published and distributed via the YMCA/YWCA and state health agencies. 'The U.S. Postal Service declared it was obscene material, had her arrested, and took her to court in a highly publicised case. The ruling was against her, but she became a popular and dedicated writer and speaker for socialist causes' (Ogilvie, Biographical Dictionary of Women in Science, p. 347). First edition, first printing; 8vo; title to appendix II printed in red and black on thinner paper, spotting to the edges of the text block and early and late leaves; original blue cloth, titles to spine and upper board gilt, spine darkened, some light spots to the cloth, gilt titles dulled, a very good copy in the rubbed and tanned jacket with spotting and some small chips and nicks; 309pp.…

Unbound. Zustand: Very Good. Silver gelatin print. Wire photo. Image measuring approximately 7" x 9½" on slightly larger paper. Dated April 24, 1929 on the verso, along with two other tamps and Dennett's name typed and in pencil; some masking fluid around Dennett's face (for contrast in the final printed image in the newspaper). Marginal corner chip, two tiny pinholes and a few small creases (one at her face) in the image, and a 2¼" split in the upper left with tape reinforcement verso, a handsome, near very good image. In 1915, Dennett self-published *The Sex Side of Life: An Explanation for Young People*, written as an educational booklet for her sons. In 1929 the book caused Mary Dennett to face a federal indictment for obscenity, violating the Comstock Act of 1873, which stated that no information regarding sex, birth control, or abortion may be circulated in the mail. This portrait was almost certainly taken to accompany a story about the trial; five days after this image was taken, on April 29th, the court ruled that Dennett's pamphlet was obscene and fined her $300, which she refused to pay. However, court discovered that the Post Office had created a fake person to trick Dennett into mailing a copy of her pamphlet, in order to file a case. In January of the following year, Dennett appealed, and in March, the original ruling was reversed, further noting that because Dennett's intent was educational, the pamphlet did not qualify as obscene. A nice image from an important historical moment.…
