Sex and Society in Early Twentieth-Century Spain: Hildegart Rodriguez and the World League for Sexual Reform

(Part of the Iberian and Latin American Studies Series)

Hildegart Rodr guez's sensational death at the hands of her own mother usually overshadows her fascinating life. Alison Sinclair's examination of Rodr guez's 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 Rodr guez's personal tensions and anxieties. By building on this exploration of one woman's life, Sinclair also shows us Spain's contacts with the international community and delivers a gripping account of the efforts of reformers in the years before the Spanish Civil War.
