Marie Stopes's work as a scientist and activist has aided women in gaining reproductive education in Britain and worldwide, as she had campaigned to increase women's access to contraception. In this volume, Stopes provides women of India with medically safe and proven options for contraception using readily accessible household items. Publishing the piece after the 1952 Indian conference that resulted in the founding of Sanger's International Planned Parenthood Federation, Stopes states that "Indian women should want to know about methods by which they can safely control conception" and that "properly trained medical men and women and qualified midwives should receive technical instruction …in the art of choosing the right contraceptive and fitting it for each patient." Small closed tear on right top edge, small loss to upper right corner. Very good condition.
