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.
Hildegart Rodríguezs sensational death at the hands of her own mother usually overshadows her fascinating life. Alison Sinclairs examination of Rodríguezs role as a central player in the Spanish chapter of the World League for Sexual Reform reveals much more than just a dramatic demise. Through analysis of her correspondence with English sexologist Havelock Ellis, we glimpse poignant details of Rodríguezs personal tensions and anxieties. By building on this exploration of one womans life, Sinclair also shows us Spains contacts with the international community and delivers a gripping account of the efforts of reformers in the years before the Spanish Civil War.
