Their co-authored 1909 scientific article, which Hewitt called \"the one little sin,\" is reprinted as an appendix, along with a chapter of Stopes's unpublished novel \u003ci\u003eA Man's Mate\u003c\/i\u003e, entitled \"Friends.\" Laura Jean Cameron provides a lively, thought-provoking introduction. Her epilogue considers why Stopes and Hewitt's friendship was largely forgotten and how its recollection reveals early ecology's revolutionary promise but also its colonial and eugenic entanglements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeaving accounts not only of the professional worlds the correspondents traversed in Britain, Japan, and Canada, but also of intensely personal, relationships involved in the changing nature of their field, \u003ci\u003eFriend Beloved\u003c\/i\u003e connects careers and emotional trajectories at a key moment in the women's suffrage movement and the making of modern science.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaura Jean Cameron is professor of historical geography at Queen's University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48405533262073,"sku":"9780228005278","price":53.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/vaPMvIG4NA9780228005278.webp?v=1778842685","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/friend-beloved-marie-stopes-gordon-hewitt-and-an-ecology-of-letters-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
