Book Synopsis
Examines issues of sex and society in early twentieth-century Spain, using a specific case history, namely that of Hildegart Rodriguez (1914-1933) who came to be one of the central players in the Spanish chapter of the World League for Sexual Reform (WLSR) and made famous by her dramatic demise when murdered by her mother.

Trade Review
'This is a substantial and impeccable monograph. It does justice to a figure who has hitherto been only partially rescued from oblivion and often wrongly narrated, and it deploys for us an intellectual world that is not only Peninsular but also part of a European system of thought with which Hildegart was keen to be in dialogue and out of which she came to exist.' Nuria Capdevila-Arguelles, Modern Language Review, 104.1, 2009
