This antique hardcover book, published in 1887 by Law, King & Law/Western, is a fascinating glimpse into historic woman's health, wellness, social, cultural, and life skills. Written by John D. West, MD, the book explores the 10 phases of a woman's life, from maidenhood to motherhood. The book is a unique piece of Americana, providing insight into the attitudes and beliefs of the time. It contains special attributes that make it a valuable addition to any collection, especially for those interested in women's history. There is some separation/looseness on the front cover but still intact. Good condition for a book that is around 137 years old!
