Summary
| Description |
English: In 1886 a physician named H. A. Allbut published a cheap little book called The Wife's Handbook. While it was mainly about pregnancy, delivery and recovery, it also included a chapter on contraception - and it would cause a great controversy. Here is the 23rd edition, from 1894, which claims that there were now no less than 210,000 copies of this book in circulation. |
