Masters of Their Own Bodies
The Great Canadian Birth Control Trial
by
Peter Giuliani
Sex and the long arm of the Catholic Church. Eccentric millionaires and Canada's Eugenics Society. Poverty and intolerance trapping the working class. It’s 1936 during the Great Depression and the nation watches as a spectacular court case unfolds in a tiny town just outside Ottawa. Dorothea Palmer has brought birth control to French Catholic Eastview’s poorest women and the government will not stand for it, but there is far more at play than first meets the eye.
Peter Giuliani is a long time elementary teacher and union thug from the Ottawa region. The teaching part was great fun, but union work, though eye-opening, was considerably less so. Now retired, he spends his time with his amazing family and friends and enjoys writing on the side.
