Nurse outside a Marie Stopes mobile birth control clinic, Bethnal Green, London, 1928. 'Free practical instruction by qualified nurse'. In 1921, Dr Marie Stopes founded the first birth control clinic in Britain. In order to make advice on birth control available in working class areas and rural districts, Dr Stopes also established mobile clinics in caravans, such as this one. However Stopes' ideas about eugenics were controversial: according to some she was 'an elitist, an idealist, interested in creating a society in which only the best and beautiful should survive'.
