Cicely Grace Erskine

Cicely Grace Erskine, also recorded as Cicely Grace Quicke and Mrs. Monteith Erskine, was a British writer born around 1874 who died on August 2, 1969. Surviving catalog and reference records connect her with the Erskine family and with the title Lady Erskine.

She is known for Sex at Choice, a book presented as guidance for women and described in its own preface as the result of many years of study. The book focuses on sex determination and pregnancy, placing her among writers who addressed intimate medical and domestic subjects for a general readership.

Although not much biographical detail is easily confirmed from major public sources, her published work suggests a writer interested in explaining controversial ideas in accessible language. That makes her an intriguing figure for listeners curious about older popular nonfiction, especially books that show how people once understood science, family life, and women's health.
