A radical thinker and humanitarian employer Owen made a major contribution to nineteenth-century social movements including co-operatives, trade unions and workers' education. He was a pioneer of enlightened approaches to the education of children and an advocate of birth control. He established utopian communities in both the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and is often thought of as a leading early British socialist.Social reformersBiographyElectronic books.Social reformers335.12092Thompson Noel125026Williams Chris855474MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462726003321Robert Owen and his legacy1948765UNINA
