| | 1 | Author: | Sanger, Margaret | Add | | | Title: | Woman and the New Race  | | | | Published: | 2002 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | THE most far-reaching social development of modern times is the
revolt of woman against sex servitude. The most important force in the
remaking of the world is a free motherhood. Beside this force, the
elaborate international programmes of modern statesmen are weak and
superficial. Diplomats may formulate leagues of nations and nations may
pledge their utmost strength to maintain them, statesmen may dream of
reconstructing the world out of alliances, hegemonies and spheres of
influence, but woman, continuing to produce explosive populations, will
convert these pledges into the proverbial scraps of paper; or she may,
by controlling birth, lift motherhood to the plane of a voluntary,
intelligent function, and remake the world. When the world is thus
remade, it will exceed the dream of statesman, reformer and
revolutionist. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
