Janet Chance

Janet Chance (10 February 1886 – 18 December 1953) was a British feminist writer, sex education advocate and birth control and abortion law reformer.

The couple soon moved to London, England where they both became enthusiastic advocates and financial supporters of the English Malthusian League and the efforts of American reformer Margaret Sanger and the birth control movement.

To this end, in 1936 Chance helped found and support the Abortion Law Reform Association (ALRA) with WBCG colleague Alice Jenkins[1] and the physician Joan Malleson.

[7] During the late 1930s, Janet Chance also worked to help get refugees out of Germany, Austria and other Nazi-occupied nations, even traveling to Vienna and Prague in the summer of 1938.

On December 18, four months after Clinton's death, Janet Chance threw herself from a window at London's University College Hospital and died.
