Woman and Womanhood: A Search for Principles

"Woman and Womanhood: A Search for Principles" by C. W. Saleeby is a scientific work from the early 1900s that studies women's roles through biology and eugenics. The book centers on how important women are to the future of humanity, claiming that mothers shape society’s progress through their contributions to future generations. The author believes choosing the right mothers is as important as choosing the right fathers, and that women are Nature's key tool for future generations. He focuses on the importance of motherhood in how society changes over time. Further, the author critiques modern feminists for not seeing the link between women and eugenics, arguing that his ideas will help both women and the future itself.
