They include Bella and Charles Pearce, prominent Glasgow socialists and disciples of an American-based mystic who taught that religion needed \u0026amp;#x27;re-sexed\u0026amp;#x27;; Jane Hume Clapperton, a feminist freethinker with advanced views on birth-control and women\u0026amp;#x27;s right to sexual pleasure; and Patrick Geddes, founder of an avant-garde Edinburgh subculture and co-author of an influential scientific book on sex. A consideration of their lives and work forces a reappraisal of our understanding of British sexual progressivism during this period and will therefore be of interest to all historians of modern gender and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920478126238,"sku":"ING-9781526125255","price":194.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526125255.jpg?v=1782821521","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526125255","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
