{"product_id":"9780753559925","title":"A dirty, filthy book","description":"\u003cp\u003eLondon, 1877. Annie Besant and her confidant Charles Bradlaugh are on trial for the sordid crime of publishing and selling a birth control pamphlet. Remarkably - 45 years before the first woman will be admitted to the English bar - Annie is defending herself - declaring a woman's right to choose when, and if, to have children. At a time when women were legally and socially subservient to men, Annie's defiant voice was a sensation. The trial scandalised newspapers, captivated the British public and sparked a debate over morals, censorship and sex. Drawing on unpublished archives, private papers and courtroom transcripts - and featuring an incredible cast including Queen Victoria, George Bernard Shaw and London itself - 'A Dirty, Filthy Book' tells the gripping story of a forgotten pioneer who refused to accept the role the Establishment assigned to her. Instead, she chose to resist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WH Allen","offers":[{"title":"Michael \/ Meyer","offer_id":47783930036538,"sku":"9780753559925","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/products\/9780753559925.jpg?v=1709644068","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.pro\/products\/9780753559925","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
