Woman and Womanhood: A Search for Principles

In this thoughtful study the author examines what it means to be a woman in a world still shaped by outdated assumptions. Drawing on medical knowledge of his time, he argues that women are not merely vessels for future generations but equal partners in the biological creation of each new life. By highlighting the often‑overlooked contributions of mothers alongside fathers, he invites readers to reconsider how society values and selects both parents.

The book surveys a wide range of issues—from physical training and higher education for girls, to the economics of marriage, the pressures of prudery, and the medical challenges of the age such as cancer and chronic worry. It also tackles complex questions of eugenics, the determination of sex, and the legal rights of mothers, offering practical advice grounded in contemporary scientific understanding. Readers will find a blend of historical perspective and forward‑looking principles that aim to empower women to make informed choices about their bodies, families, and futures.
