Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Family and Its Members
Many learned books have been written concerning the evolution Of sex, the history of matrimonial institutions and the development Of the family. This volume is not an attempted rival Of any Of these. The work of Havelock Ellis, Of Le Tourneau, Of Otis T. Mason, Of Geddes and Thompson, and others building upon the foundations laid by the great pioneers in the study Of the family, constitute a sufficient mine Of historical information and scientific analysis and evaluation. The studies and suggestions of Olive Schreiner, Mrs. Clews Parsons, Mrs. Helen Bosanquet, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Ellen Key and others indicate the tendency Of modern inquiry into the just basis Of the family order. The work of Professors Howard, Giddings, Thomas, Ross, Goodsell, Calhoun, Patten, Dealey, Cooley, Ellwood, Todd and others in college fields, shows the importance Of the family and the necessity of giving all that concerns it the most serious attention.
