Abstract

[At the turn of the twentieth century‚ three social and scientific theories intersected in public‚ political and moral debates in Britain: Social Darwinism‚ Malthusianism and Eugenics. Each supported scientific birth control to address decreasing health and living standards and population concerns. To each‚ there was only one guaranteed remedy to these problems: birth control. In response to these needs‚ a National Birth Control Association was founded that in collaboration with scientists, physicians and Eugenists pioneered a field of contraceptive science to understand, test and guarantee contraceptive practices and technologies.]
