The Single Woman And Her Emotional Problems
» Gay
Governments are often confused and cowardly. Early in the 20th century British censors fear that banning The Single Woman And Her Emotional Problems would spark so much interest that women in the United Kingdom would become gay.
According to National Archive documents, the censors feared that the book, which looked into the health problems associated with a lack of men during wartime, would raise the profile of lesbianism if a high profile ban took place.
