Abstract

[This chapter charts the Family Planning Association’s pill-era achievements to implement broader influence and receive state legitimisation through collaborations with regulators like the British Standards Institution, British Pharmacopoeia and British Pharmacopoeia Commission, and Council for the investigation of Fertility Control, and less formally the medical profession, as they were all slowly persuaded to overtake formal contraceptive regulatory oversight. It further charts the socio-cultural and medico-legal challenges the association faced as the contraceptive landscape began to fundamentally shift in the 1950s and 1960s with increased acceptability, and the emergence and introduction of the hormonal oral contraceptive pill. In this period the association moved out of the shadows and into greater public focus, built its British empire through the expansion of its sites and attempted to broaden its socio-political influence through a series of partnerships and collaborations, funding opportunities and further efforts to streamline and guarantee its approved methods and products, and those emerging, through an extended research agenda.]
