Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Unmarried Mother: A Study of Five Hundred Cases
From years of experience during which considerable numbers of illegitimate children have been brought to our attention, I am inclined to strongly discount Mr. Kammerer's modest doubt concerning the entirely representative character of the groups from which his data are Obtained. The point that he himself makes, namely, that in other social circles and in other grades of intelligence means are found for preventing unlawful child bearing, sufficiently explains the fact that nearly all the illegitimate children one ever comes to know about anywhere (and professional men learn family secrets pretty thoroughly) have passed through the hands of public and private agencies. Most unwedded mothers, then, may be fairly considered as belonging to just such groups as are studied in this book.
