Why it was banned
Banned in Ireland in 1942 under Part II of the Register of Prohibited Publications for advocating abortion. Dorothy Thurtle's book was cited by name in a 2025 parliamentary answer as still listed — making it one of the longest-standing entries on the register. The legal basis was abolished in 2018 following Ireland's constitutional change, but the register had not been formally wound down by 2025.
