Love and Eugenics in the Late Nineteenth Century is a fascinating, lucid, and controversial study of the centrality of eugenic debate to the Victorians.

Weingartner. This book was released on 2007. Moses Harman available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This thesis investigates the free thought, free love, and eugenics movements by examining the figure of Moses Harman. It considers the way in which free thought and free love came together to produce a unique movement in the Midwest and also looks at the beginnings of the eugenics movement as it emerged in the early twentieth century. These movements and their subsequent developments and interactions are viewed through the historical figure of Moses Harman. Harman's experiences with and influences on free thought, free love, and eugenics is shown by examining journals edited and published by him from 1880-1910. This study implicates that radical social movements were not limited to the East Coast, that there was significant activity in the Midwest during the late nineteenth century. Not only were Harman and his followers working to change social conditions based on their own ideas, they were primarily reacting to social controls of government reform and calling for a return to fundamental American principles of free speech and a secular government. The late nineteenth century, instead of being a time period of Victorian and Social Purity consensus, was a time period of increasing social conflicts as America transitioned into the modern twentieth century.

Download and read online ebook Selected Writings of Victoria Woodhull write by Victoria Claflin Woodhull. This book was released on 2010-05-01. Selected Writings of Victoria Woodhull available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Suffragist, lecturer, eugenicist, businesswoman, free lover, and the first woman to run for president of the United States, Victoria C. Woodhull (1838?1927) has been all but forgotten as a leading nineteenth-century feminist writer and radical. Selected Writings of Victoria Woodhull is the first multigenre, multisubject collection of her materials, giving contemporary audiences a glimpse into the radical views of this nineteenth-century woman who advocated free love between consensual adults and who was labeled ?Mrs. Satan? by cartoonist Thomas Nast. Woodhull?s texts reveal the multiple conflicting aspects of this influential woman, who has been portrayed in the past as either a disreputable figure or a brave pioneer. ø This collection of letters, speeches, essays, and articles elucidate some of the lesser-known movements and ideas of the nineteenth century. It also highlights, through Woodhull?s correspondence with fellow suffragist Lucretia Mott, tensions within the suffragist movement and demonstrates the changing political atmosphere and role of women in business and politics in the late nineteenth century. ø With a comprehensive introduction contextualizing Woodhull?s most important writing, this collection provides a clear lens through which to view late nineteenth-century suffragism, labor reform, reproductive rights, sexual politics, and spiritualism.
