подписанты в защиту Сэнгер

I've found the names on the petition ! It turns out that this particular plea to President Wilson was first suggested by family planning advocate Marie Stopes while Margaret Sanger was in England. That's why it's signed by well-known Englis...h dignitaries even though the prosecution of Sanger was to be in the United States. The signers were Percy Ames, poet & literary scholar ; William Archer, drama critic ; Lena Ashwell, actress and feminist ; Arnold Bennett, playwright & author ; Gilbert Murray, classical scholar ; Edward Carpenter, poet ; Aylmer Maude, translator of Tolstoy ; H.G. Wells and Marie Stopes. Looks like Margaret Sanger was pretty persuasive during her "exile" and made some influential friends in England who were willing to step forward and support her work for a still very controversial cause. A belated "Hooray" for her - and for her supporters - 95 years later !
