Feminism; Women; Women -- Social and moral questions; Women -- Social conditions
"A valuable addition to the literature dealing with the scientific
knowledge of infancy and early childhood.... The book starts with a
brief and easily comprehended exposition of physical characteristics, a
groundwork of great value to intelligent women who desire, from one
reason or another, to be self-reliant as far as possible where their
babies are concerned. A chapter devoted to 'The Healthy Infant' gives in
pleasingly lucid fashion a picture of what a baby should be doing at
each point of its development."--_The Queen._
"This book deals fully and clearly with the physiology of the infant;
with dietetics, based on a study of human and cow's milk, as supplied to
it; with the effects of faulty upbringing, more especially of faulty
feeding; the signs, causes and treatment of diseased conditions, and so
on. It should be a valuable aid to the intelligent mother or
nurse."--_Nursing Notes._

WOMAN AND MARRIAGE
A HANDBOOK
By MARGARET STEPHENS
With a Preface by DR. MARY SCHARLIEB, and an Introduction by Mrs. S. A.
BARNETT
Large crown 8vo, cloth, 6s. net
_SIXTH IMPRESSION_
The direct purpose of this book is to explain very simply something of
the structure and the use of parenthood, and to show the possibilities
which arise from it--in short, to help women, and men too--in the
understanding of themselves. It endeavours to increase intelligence on
the subject of child-life by letting a clear light shine on those
everyday matters of birth and life which are so often furtively wrapped
in a mysterious and wholly distorting gloom.
"'Woman and Marriage' is an outspoken book which should be carefully
read by those for whom it is written. It is not a book for boys and
girls; it is a physiological handbook, thoroughly well written, orderly,
wholesome and practical.... We commend this work to all who want a full
account in simple words of the physical facts of married life. All the
difficulties of the subject are handled fearlessly, gravely and
reverently in this book, and as it must be kept out of the reach of mere
curiosity, so it deserves thoughtful study by those of us whose lives it
touches."--_The Spectator._
"If more such books were written, and more such knowledge disseminated,
it would be a good thing for the wives and mothers of the present
day."--_The Times._
