Hall presents a rich, meticulously researched portrait of Stopes, detailing her remarkable dual career as a palaeobotanist and the founder of Britain's first birth control clinic in 1921. The biography uncovers the personal turbulences that shadowed Stopes's public triumphs, including her passionate love affairs, troubled marriages, and fierce battles against religious and political opposition. Written with authoritative clarity and narrative sweep, it illustrates how Stopes transformed deeply private matters into urgent public debates, cementing her legacy as one of the most divisive and groundbreaking women of her era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130766958811,"sku":"2026100008278-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f9b82d0a-dd0d-493d-8796-d6236c215e7c.png?v=1786589629","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008278-secondhand-marie-stopes-a-biography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
