Summary

"The Truth About Woman" by C. Gasquoine Hartley is a study that looks closely at women’s essence and part in the world, penned at the start of the 1900s. The writer shares what she thinks about the importance of women and being a mother in society, calling it a basic part of what makes us human. This work tries to break down the details of women’s lives and how they connect with men, using biology, history, and what’s happening now as a guide, pointing out the hard things and duties women have. The book kicks off by showing why the author wants to add to the talks already happening about what women do, sparked by what she’s lived through and a real worry for where they stand in society. Hartley begins by talking about how women and motherhood are naturally linked, saying that what happens to people in the future depends on this tie. Giving the book to her adopted son shows this idea is key. The introduction tells us that the book will be split into sections about biology, history, and modern times, all meant to uncover the tricky truth of women and where they should fit in a changing world. The writer seems to want to make things clearer, asking us to rethink what we believe about women and talking about their important spot as society moves forward.
