Excerpt from Womanhood and Marriage The glory of woman is her strength. Strength means beauty; it means fitness. for motherhood. No vital, enduring people can be mothered by weak women. The Nation cries out for vigorous motherhood. The voice of war has awakened us. Every atom of power is needed, and the strength and vitality of men and women is power beyond computation. This is an age in which force counts as never before, and a weak woman is in the way. She is human wastage. The author of this course believes that every woman can be a strong, splendid specimen of her kind. That the frailty, sickness and suffering so long associated with the feminine state can be avoided. That the weak can be made strong. That health of a high degree awaits very woman who is willing to strive for this glorious reward. It is the duty of every woman to struggle for life in its truest sense. She should exult in the force that comes with a splendid physique. The records of our health boards, hospitals, sanitariums, insane asylums reveal facts that are appalling.
