⁂ One of the first books to openly discuss birth control. Married Love was considered too controversial by a series of publishers between 1914 and 1918, accepted by Fifield & Co on the condition that the publication be funded by Humphrey Roe, Stopes' future second husband. It was an instant success, the first edition of 2000 copies selling out within two weeks.
