What is the theme in London Transports by Maeve Binchy?

Sexual revolution is a theme in the book. By opening this collection of stories with a frank depiction of the quest for an abortion, Maeve Binchy signals that the volume will not skirt controversy. Only a handful of the stories lacks at least a sexual sub theme. "Shepherd's Bush" shows an Irish woman, May, pregnant by her very-married boss and having to leave Ireland for a legal abortion. This appears to be common practice among Irish women. Women having affairs with hopelessly married men who will not leave their wives and children is a common theme throughout the volume. Moralism is avoided, but the question of the father's rights is discussed—and dismissed by May.
