Stopes was an ardent activist in the eugenics movement, one of her stated aims being "to furnish security from conception to those who are racially diseased". - BBC News, 17 November 2020. Sir Henry Rider Haggard KBE (1856–1925) was an English writer of adventure fiction set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the lost world literary genre. He was also involved in agricultural reform throughout the British Empire. His stories, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential. Rider Haggard's works have been criticized for their depictions of non-Europeans. In his non-fiction book Decolonising the Mind, Kenyan author Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o refers to Haggard, who he says was one of the canonical authors in primary and secondary school, as one of the "geniuses of racism."
