After fleeing the country for England, Sanger met notable [[Fabian Socialists]] who helped her refine her craft. [[George Bernard Shaw]], [[H. G. Wells]], and [[Havelock Ellis]], among others. Ellis in particular taught her to tone down her rhetoric. Ellis guided her to use a more cautious and prudent propaganda,<ref name=training>[https://books.google.com/books?id=aNn_AwAAQBAJ&pg=PA94 The Birth Control Movement and American Society: From Private Vice to Public Virtue]</ref> taking advantage of the language of social sciences but with a sharper emotional guile. She was also influenced by Neo-Malthusian writings. While in Europe, she met [[Charles Vickery Drysdale]], who would go on to be a co-founder of the British Family Planning Association. While at a Fabian Society meeting, Sanger also met Marie Stopes, who, like Drysdale, was an early pioneer in the field of birth control. Stopes was also a Neo Malthusian. Stopes sought out Sanger's advice for her book ''Married Love''.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=lZdECgAAQBAJ&pg=PT164 The Public Lives of Charlotte and Marie Stopes]</ref> Stopes considered Sanger to be an inspiration, and included a bit about contraception in the book.

A trip to Holland led Sanger to conclude that the fight for birth control would need to take on greater medical tones, instead of being a "free speech fight".<ref name=training /> When she returned to America, she increasingly moved further away from her former radical friends, such as her former anarchist and communist friends in the IWW. Sanger explained: "I am determined to bide my time, consolidate my forces, continue my studies, my lectures, my letters to the countless women who are writing me every week."<ref name=training /> Sanger had fully taken in the Fabian viewpoint of the [[Fabian Socialism#Inevitability_of_Gradualness|Inevitability of Gradualness]]. She eventually developed the viewpoint that [[Marxism]] was nothing more than a fad religion, and wholly rejected it.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=MXFzAzFYpZAC&pg=PA59 Teaching America about Sex: Marriage Guides and Sex Manuals from the Late Victorians to Dr. Ruth]</ref>
