Parenthood and Race Culture: An Outline of Eugenics

"Parenthood and Race Culture: An Outline of Eugenics" by C. W. Saleeby is a deep look into eugenics, written in the style of an early 20th-century scientific report. It argues that understanding heredity and carefully choosing parents are key to improving the human race. The book begins by stating that society has ignored the importance of motherhood and children's well-being for too long. Saleeby connects eugenics to Darwin's ideas and emphasizes the need to see parenthood as a significant duty, using examples that highlight how heredity, environment, and society affect future generations.
