Hugh Sykes examines the lives of some 20th-century people who rebelled against society's conventions, and considers the price they had to pay for their acts of rebellion. 3: Marie Stopes
'I am a kind of priest and prophet mixed.'
Marie Stopes confronted the narrow hypocrisy of post-Victorian Britain with a dogged if eccentric feminism. She lived in a period when sexual attitudes underwent a major revolution and her pioneering work in the field of birth control made her a major figure in shaping that revolution. However, the exuberant public manner contrasted greatly with the obsessed and frustrated private person.
