Stopes resigned her lectureship at the University College of London at the end of 1920 to concentrate on the clinic and three months later she and Roe opened the Mothers ' Clinic at 61, Marlborough Road, Holloway, North London on 17 March 1921.

Stopes had a serious relationship mainly through correspondence with Japanese botanist Kenjiro Fujii, whom she met at the University of Munich in 1904 whilst researching her Ph. D.

Shortly afterwards, the British palaeobotanists Frank Oliver and Dukinfield Henry Scott ( with the assistance of Oliver's student at the time Marie Stopes ) made the critical discovery that some of these fronds ( genus Lyginopteris ) were associated with seeds ( genus Lagenostoma ) that had identical and very distinctive glandular hairs, and concluded that both fronds and seeds belonged to the same plant.

Stopes arrived in North America before Christmas to start her research and on 29 December she attended a dinner in St. Louis, Missouri, where she met Reginald Ruggles Gates.

Stopes showed her what she had written and sought her advice regarding a chapter on contraception for her book.

On 26 March 1918, the day Married Love was first published, Stopes was to her publisher's dismay visiting Humphrey Roe, who had just returned from World War I with a broken ankle after his plane had crashed.

Less than two months later they were married and Stopes had her first opportunity to practise what she preached in her book.

There was a conflict between Stopes and the doctors over the method of birth — she was not allowed to give birth on her knees — and, when the baby came, it was stillborn.

Stopes and her fellow family planning pioneers around the globe, like Dora Russell, played a major role in breaking down taboos about sex and increasing knowledge, pleasure and improved reproductive health.

The book attacked Stopes over her advocacy of the cervical cap, describing the cap as " the most harmful method contraception of which I have had experience " associating her birth control campaign with a writer convicted of obscenity for publishing on birth control 45 years earlier.

In 1924 the 43-year-old Marie Stopes gave birth to her only son, Harry.

Stopes knew many famous people of her age.

Stopes was strongly against the termination of a pregnancy once it had started: her clinics did not offer the possibility during her life.

* When Stopes discovered that a certain William Carpenter displayed her name on a birth control and abortion clinic he ran, she took steps to have him arrested and imprisoned.

* When it came to her notice that one of Avro Manhattan's woman friends had had an abortion, Stopes accused him of " murdering " the child.

Stopes, who was ever ready to promote her writings, sent a copy of her Love Songs for Young Lovers to Adolf Hitler with the following cover letter:

After Harry married Mary, who was myopic, Stopes cut him out of her will, settling on the eugenics argument that prospective grandchildren might inherit the condition to justify her resentment.

In 1923 Marie Stopes bought the Old Lighthouse on the Isle of Portland, Dorset as an escape from the difficult climate of London during her court case against H. G.

Stopes was now pregnant and a month overdue she entered a nursing home on 16 July 1919.
