Abstract
IN this book Dr. Marie Stopes is mainly occupied with her quarrel with the Roman Catholic Church, the authorities of which have actively opposed her campaign on behalf of birth-control. But Dr. Stopes succeeds in showing that that Church is not so obscurantist as some of the religious bodies more nearly allied to it. For, as she points out, the Church does sanction certain methods of contraception, and her complaint is that these methods are obsolete, since they are ineffective and physiologically undesirable.
