Per Wikipedia, Sybil Neville-Rolfe (1885 -1955) Was A Social Hygienist And Founder Of The Eugenics Society, And A Leading Figure In The National Council For Combating Venereal Diseases. She Has Been Described As A Feminist And A Eugenicist. Neville-Rolfe And Francis Galton Founded The Eugenics Education Society (Renamed The Galton Institute In The 1980'S, And Currently Known As The Adelhpi Genetics Forum) In London In 1907, With Galton Serving As Its First Honorary President. She Took The Role Of Honorary Secretary Upon The Society's Founding Until 1920. The Eugenics Education Society Believed That Social Class And Poverty Were Directly Linked To One's Genetics And Their Ideals Were Closely Linked To The Committee Of The Moral Education League (1898). She Also Founded The Imperial Society For Promoting Sex Education[3] And Was The Deputy Chair Of The Child Welfare Council. Therefore, The Society Aimed To Reduce Poverty In England Through Reducing The Birth Rate Of The Lowest Classes And Those Of Low Intelligence. In 1912, She Was The Driving Force Behind The Society's Organisation Of The First International Eugenics Congress In South Kensington. After 1920 She Acted As The Society Council's Vice-President And Later Was Elected To Serve On The Consultative Council, A Position That She Held Until Her Death. In 1941, She Became Both The First Woman And The First Non-American To Receive The Snow Medal From The American Social Hygiene Association, For Distinguished Services To Humanity. Neville-Rolfe's Beliefs Concerning Eugenics And Prostitution Developed When She Trained And Worked As A Rescue Worker In A Shelter For Troubled Girls. She Was Determined To Help Educate These Women On Sex And Contraception In Order To Prevent These Mistakes From Happening In The Future. Neville-Rolfe Published An Article In 1917 Titled "The Eugenic Principle In Social Reconstruction" Which Detailed Her Beliefs Regarding Eugenics. She Believed That Certain People Were Genetically Superior To Other People Within A Society, And That These People Who Were Genetically Superior To Their Peers And Born Into The Lower Classes Would Rise Up To Attain A Higher Quality Of Life. They Would Do So Because They Were Inherently More Productive And Useful People Within Society, Which Would Be Proven By The Fact That They Were Able To Achieve Financial Independence. Conversely, She Felt That Children Born Into Families Of People Who Had Proven Themselves To Be Of A Higher Genetic Status Than Their Peers Could Also Be Of A Lower Genetic Worth Than Their Parents And Would Naturally Sink In Status Through The Course Of Their Life, And Also Never Achieve The Financial Independence That Is Used In This System To Prove One's Genetic Worth. She Called This Process Eugenic Selection. Throughout Her Life She Made Several Assertions As To How Eugenics Could Be Implemented Into The Governing Bodies And Institutions In Britain To Preserve The Anglo-Saxon Race. She Felt That Changes Needed To Be Made At Both A Social And Government Level To Encourage People With Better Genetics To Marry And Have Children Together Early In Life While Also Discouraging People Who Could Not Attain Financial Independence, Contracted A Venereal Disease, Or Were Otherwise Mentally Deficient, From Having Children. To This End She Suggested Several Changes To Social Norms And The Policies Of The Government, Including: Implementing A Tax System That Taxes Citizens Without Children More Than Citizens With Children, Establishment Of A Police Force Composed Of Women, Amending The Mental Deficiency Act To Include The Category "Morally Defective", And Making The Establishment Of Paternity Of The Children Of Unwed Mothers The Responsibility Of The State.
