Summary

"Radiant Motherhood: A Book for Those Who are Creating the Future" by Marie Carmichael Stopes is a guide through the world of becoming parents, shining light on the feelings, bodies, and minds of both mothers and fathers during this huge life change. Stopes wants to help couples get ready for parenthood, always pointing out how important love is in making happy, healthy kids. The book kicks off by talking about how parents dream of having kids that are just as amazing as they are, a wish that comes from deep love. Stopes knows that things like society and even our genes can make these dreams harder to reach. Through stories and thoughtful ideas, she gets ready to explore all the good, the bad, and everything in between that comes with being a mother, making sure to include dads too. Her big goal is to give couples the information they need to be great parents while also celebrating the awesome experience of bringing a new life into the world together.

About the Author

Marie Charlotte Carmichael Stopes was a British author, palaeobotanist and campaigner for eugenics and women's rights. She made significant contributions to plant paleontology and coal classification, and was the first female academic on the faculty of the University of Manchester. With her second husband, Humphrey Verdon Roe, Stopes founded the first birth control clinic in Britain. Stopes edited the newsletter Birth Control News, which gave explicit practical advice. Her sex manual Married Love (1918) was controversial and influential, and brought the subject of birth control into wide public discourse. Stopes publicly opposed abortion, arguing that the prevention of conception was all that was needed, though her actions in private were at odds with her public pronouncements.
