'''Walter M Gallichan''' was a British journalist | '''Walter M Gallichan''' was a British journalist born on the Isle of Jersey in 1861. He was a prolific author of 37 fiction and non-fiction works on myriad topics such as personal relationships, ornithology, sports, eugenics, feminism, and the history of Spain, one of his works being a history of the Spanish city of Cordoba, once the main power center of the Islamic Umayyad Caliphate. | ||
He wrote a book that examined the causes of celibacy, including [[involuntary celibacy]]. In it, he portrayed "involuntary celibacy" as a issue facing men of the professional classes in the era due to heightened competition in those fields and a high cost of living, but he viewed the phenomena as chiefly affecting what he describes as a "vast number of involuntarily celibate women doomed to a lonely, loveless existence and the negation of the right to motherhood". He also claims in the book that the majority of soldiers were involuntary celibates. | He wrote a book that examined the causes of celibacy, including [[involuntary celibacy]].
