Vivisection has always been a divisive issue, and it very much divided 19th century radicals and feminists. While Dr Anna Kingsford was a consistent anti vivisectionist; in the 1880s, Annie Besant was a very strong pro vivisectionist. Their public clash in 1881 has largely been forgotten, yet their different visions of progress remain relevant today.
