About this Item

Rare copy of Dock's most scarce work. She was one of the true pioneers of American nursing, but also a women's and social activist. She states in her Preface that "the plan of this manual has grown from the scope of a paper presented by the author to the International Congress of Nurses in London in July 1909, in which the chief purpose aimed at was the same as has been here followed, namely, to reiterate the social significance of the venereal diseases and the crusade upon which women should enter in regard to them." The book is divided into 3 main parts; The Venereal Diseases, Prostitution, and Prevention. Inner hinges are cracked; cover is quite impacted by moisture on the back; else the cover has minor wear and fading. Seller Inventory # 095197
