Raising Baby by the Book : The Education of American Mothers

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This survey of the education of American mothers describes how twentieth-century women were persuaded to substitute scientific advice for their own common sense in the rearing of children. Julia Grant reviews a wide range of child-rearing literature and shows how mothers from different backgrounds and eras have responded to this trend.
