Abstract
A DESIRE to have things ‘both ways’ is common enough, but still it is one which deserves censure rather than praise; and so it is that we approach this book with an unfavourable impression. We are told on the cover that it is by Marie Carmichael, and then a publisher's note informs us that the author is really Dr. Marie Stopes, while for shop-window display a publisher's label repeats the information. Dr. Stopes wishes to gain fame in a field other than those in which she has already made a reputation, but as she does not wish her readers to be misled by that reputation she chooses a pen-name which turns out to be no pen-name at all. The obvious question is, Why bother? And doubtless an answer just as obvious will suggest itself.
Love's Creation: a Novel.
