Best Answer

Victoria and Elizabeth Woodhall published a journal that advocated free love, discussed women's sexuality for the first time. This caused a backlash by a Christian moralist, Anthony Comstock, who went around the country preaching against a freer sexual climate. Women in cities around the country were being offered more economic opportunities, and no longer believed their place was just in the home. As a result, the use of Birth Control began to increase. In addition, divorce rates also began to climb for women who no longer believed it was their duty to remain in abusive marriages.
