VICTORIANS ON ABORTION AND DIVORCE
Part medical treatise, part marital self-help book, H. S. Pomeroy's (1848-1917) The Ethics of Marriage bemoaned the "American sin" of abortion. Pomeroy laid out his blueprint for moral and ideal marriages, tackling issues like divorce and the woman's role in the home. This first edition captures nineteenth-century sentiments on issues still populating politics and homes today.
