The Great Canadian Birth Control Trial

     Because history should be remembered, this book was created to promote and share the transcripts from a landmark court case—the first trial that challenged Canada’s laws and opened the door to legal birth control. The transcripts were first recorded by Louise in 19XX and transcribed by Vicki Backman in 19XX, the wife of author Peter Giuliani.

​

     This website was built to make those transcripts accessible to everyone, ensuring the case can continue to be read, studied, and remembered.

For those with curiosity, academic purpose, or simply a general interest, we provides open access to the full transcripts of the landmark court case.

the book


Eccentric millionaires and Canada’s Eugenics Society. Poverty and intolerance trapping the working class. Its 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.

Sex and the long arm of the Catholic Church.
