Feminist Activist, Marie Stopes

Marie Stopes was a British feminist, author, and pioneer in the field of reproductive health in the early 20th century. She advocated for women's rights, particularly their access to contraception and family planning. In 1921, she opened the first family planning clinic in the UK, aiming to empower women to take control of their reproductive choices. Stopes published influential works, including "Married Love," which addressed sexuality and marriage. Her contributions significantly impacted public attitudes toward women's reproductive rights and laid the groundwork for modern family planning initiatives. Despite some controversy surrounding her views, her legacy endures in the fight for reproductive rights.
