'''Walter M. Gallichan''' was a British journalist born on the Isle of Jersey in 1861. He was also a prolific author of 37 fictional 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.<ref>https://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php/Walter_M._Gallichan</ref>

He wrote a book entitled ''[[The Great Unmarried]]'' 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. 

Gallichan was [[married]] 3 times and divorced twice, and his works are obscure and not widely read. He is mainly remembered in contemporary times as an early pioneer of sexual education.
==Other work==
Other books of his contained strong anti-feminist themes, with provocative titles such as ''Modern Woman and How to Manage Her'', and ''Sexual Apathy and Coldness in Women''. He also authored a book on eugenics entitled ''The Sterilization of the Unfit''. Gallichan advocated in the book (and in many of his writings) for the permanent sterilization of the "mentally degenerate".
