The National Birth Control Association, later known as the Family Planning Association, played a crucial role in the pre-Pill era in the relationship between contraceptive science and technology. This book offers the first in-depth investigation into this relationship, exploring the Association's role in designing and supporting scientific research, employing scientists, engaging with manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies, and using its facilities, patients, staff, medical, scientific, and political networks to standardize and guarantee contraceptive technology it prescribed and produced. By taking a micro-history approach to the archives of the Association, this book highlights the importance of this organization to the history of science, technology, and medicine in twentieth-century Britain. It examines the Association's participation within Western family planning networks, working particularly closely with its American counterparts to develop chemical and biological means of testing contraception for efficacy, quality, and safety.
