Sentimental Follies' or 'Instruments of Tremendous Uplift'? reconsidering women's same-sex relationships in interwar Britain
In 1985 Sheila Jeffreys alleged that the rise of sexological discourse concerning female inversion in the early twentieth century obliged women of the interwar period in the UK to reject female affection for fear of being labelled lesbian. Several historians have demonstrated that sexological ideas gained very little general currency before Radclyffe Hall's novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). Research on specific women suggests that such fears w…

The Subject is Obscene
Although it is often assumed that Marie Stopes (1880–1958) was put on trial for her promotion of birth control, the cause célèbre which brought her major media attention in 1923 was in fact her own libel suit against the Roman Catholic doctor Halliday Sutherland for his attack against her clinic. This article looks at Stopes performing in the courtroom as a victim of injustice, deserving of remedy, both in this case, and in her earlier case for t…
Qualitative Exploration of the Nature of Grief-Related Beliefs and Expectations
Societal expectations of grief impact the experience of bereavement. The congruence of societal expectations with current scientific understanding of grief is unknown. Therefore two qualitative studies explored community perceptions of grief. In study one, three small focus groups (N = 9) examined grief-related expectations associated with hypothetical scenarios of bereavement. In study two, the impact of grief-related perceptions on the lived ex…
Hauling Down the Double Standard
Nineteenth‐century feminism and the related social purity movement, and the emergent scientific discourse of ‘sexology’, are usually seen as antagonistic. Both trends, in fact, were in profound opposition to the widespread assumption that the double moral standard was an embodiment of ‘natural’ transhistorical law. This article suggests that feminist agitation against the Contagious Diseases Acts of the 1860s (and other manifestations of the dele…

It was affecting the medical profession”
There is a considerable historiography of the Western panic over masturbation which began early in the eighteenth century and which still lingers in mutated forms in the twenty‐first century. This article looks in particular at the nineteenth‐century phenomenon of the rise of the belief, initially, that masturbation was a contributory cause of insanity, and, subsequently, that a particular and identifiable form of insanity was the outcome of self…

I have never met the normal woman
F. W. Stella Browne (1880–1995) and her views on female sexuality have been much discussed of recent years. These discussions have tended to rely on a limited number of her copious (if often hard-to-find) writings, and have also failed to take into account where Stella, as an individual woman, was coming from. In the light of ongoing researches into her life and career, this article locates her writings in her life of activism in a wide variety o…
