Motherhood and the Relationships of the Sexes by C. Gasquoine Hartley
QR code
"Motherhood and the Relationships of the Sexes" by C. Gasquoine Hartley is a socio-philosophical examination written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the concept of motherhood, the evolving roles of women, and the relationships between the sexes in the context of societal changes brought about by the Great European War. Hartley's writing suggests a deep exploration of the maternal instinct and its implications on race and civilization, emphasizing the critical
role of mothers in shaping future generations. The opening of the work reflects on the historical context of women’s rights leading up to the war and examines how the conflict profoundly shifted women's positions and their struggle for political recognition. Hartley argues that women’s fight for liberation had intensified emotions that led to a reactionary state, suggesting that the war forcefully highlighted the need for women to embrace their maternal instincts and responsibilities. She presents a dual perspective on motherhood, viewing it as both a natural instinct and a social obligation that requires renewed focus and respect, especially in light of the pressing issues of child welfare and maternal health that emerged during the war years.
