Contraception has been a highly contentious issue in twentieth-century Ireland, having been banned in 1935 and stigmatized by the Catholic Church. Prior to its legalization in 1979, it sparked intense debates and polarized discussions. This comprehensive history, written by Laura Kelly, spans from the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922 to the 1990s. It delves into the lived experiences of individuals navigating family planning, drawing from a wide array of archival sources and oral histories. Kelly highlights the influence of the Catholic Church's teachings and legal structures on Irish society, obscuring sex and contraception due to shame. Despite these challenges, many Irish women and men exhibited resistance in accessing contraceptive methods. This title is also available as Open Access.
