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. 606 $aSocial reformers$vBiography 615 0$aSocial reformers 676 $a335.12092 701 $aThompson$b Noel$0125026 701 $aWilliams$b Chris$0855474 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786092603321 996 $aRobert Owen and his legacy$93805334 997 $aUNINA
