"Like all Dr. Stopes's writing, it is clear, thoughtful, penetrating, and undoubtedly is a scientific contribution towards a subject which a decade ago would have been taboo.... Our advice is for women to read it and for men to read it, for there is here stated a real problem which is specifically English."--_English Review._ "Dr. Marie Stopes has endeavoured to meet the need of healthy young people of the educated class for information as to the sexual responsibilities of marriage. Though not a medical woman, the author has special qualifications for this task: with high scientific attainments she combines literary skill, sympathetic insight, idealism, and more than common courage.... To the married and to those about to marry, provided they are normal in mind and body and not afraid of facing facts, this should prove a most helpful book."--_British Medical Journal._ "It is probably the most important contribution to the sex problem that has ever been made really _accessible_ to the English public."--_Cambridge Magazine._ "In saying that, unless the art of love is studied, marriage cannot bear its full fruits, she sees, as the greatest thinkers have always seen, that marriage is a symbol of transcendental significance.... In exquisite quality of understanding the book is a contribution to its subject, which in time will receive the recognition that it deserves."--_The Hospital._ "In the West End just now everybody is reading 'Married Love.'... Frank, straightforward truth finds no greater admirers than in the heart of Mayfair, and that is the reason for the success of Dr. Marie Stopes's book."--Mr. A. L. Humphreys in _The Book Monthly_. "This is a remarkable book which gives much information regarding the physiology of marital life.... All medical men and medical women should read and study this book. They cannot fail to glean from its pages valuable information."--_Medical Times._ London: A. C. Fifield, 13 Clifford's Inn, E.C.4 _By the same Author_ ALREADY IN ITS SECOND EDITION WISE PARENTHOOD A SEQUEL TO "MARRIED LOVE": A BOOK FOR MARRIED PEOPLE BY MARIE CARMICHAEL STOPES, D.SC., D.PH. WITH INTRODUCTION BY ARNOLD BENNETT _TWO SHILLINGS & SIXPENCE NET_ (_Postage 2d.; postage abroad, registered, 4d._) As not only individual inquirers, but the world at large, and even the medical profession, lack a rational, scientific and critical consideration of the effects of the birth-control methods now used by millions of people, this little book seems urgently needed. It is hoped that it will help materially to improve our race and to check the spread of nervous and other injuries so prevalent as a result of ignorant attempts to obtain that wise and health-giving control of parenthood which all who think must crave. It forms a sequel of practical advice to the same author's book, "Married Love," of which serious and enthusiastic reviews have been published in many medical and popular journals.
