Book Synopsis A Voice for Mothers by : Linda Bryder
Book excerpt: The Plunket Society, founded in 1907, is widely regarded as New Zealand's most successful voluntary organisation. It quickly became a national icon and its praises were sung internationally. This history of this important institution reflects Western society's changing attitudes over the twentieth century to maternal and infant health and welfare, and reveals an important aspect of women's history. Various remarkable women are introduced, along with records of their struggles and their triumphs for posterity. Lavishly illustrated with 130 pictures.
