Through his intimate experience with the physical, emotional and social problems of his patients, Dr Boyd Cooper became a proponent of women’s rights. He became a pioneer in the research of the contraceptive pill and an activist for reform of abortion laws. In Sex Without Tears he illustrates how understanding and common sense can help prevent many personal tragedies. He gives honest, easily understood advice on contraception, unwanted pregnancy, abortion, adoption, being a single mother, early teen and later life sexual relations and the ever changing standards of marriage.
