Workers' Birth Control Group was a British organisation which sought to enable working class women to access birth control information and treatment, safely and free of charge. It was founded in 1924, in the wake of the women's conference of the Labour Party, by a group which included Dora Russell, Frida Laski, and Dorothy Jewson. The group deliberately distanced itself from other existing birth control organisations, which were typically middle class and inspired by ideas of eugenics.
