Book Description
The author argues that the French population crisis, resulting from a turn-of-the-century decline in the birth rate and a national preoccupation with German militarism and its threat to France, stimulated an intense interest in maternal and child welfare that was never duplicated in the United States. She shows that because infant mortality did not have the kind of national political implications in the United States that it had in France, it provoked far less interest among U.S. politicians and doctors (excepting a small group of public health activists, pediatricians, and obstetricians). She points out that female activists' efforts to place infant care on the national political agenda in the United States resulted in the identification of these matters as "women's issues" far more than in France, with profound implications for the evolution of the welfare state in each country.

Book Description
The compilation of traditional folktales titled "Folk Tales Every Child Should Know" was put together by American essayist, editor, and critic Hamilton Wright Mabie. The book, which was published in 1905, is a collection of classic tales from many nations and customs around the globe. Presenting a wide range of folktales that would captivate young readers and enhance their literary and cultural education was Mabie's goal. The collection of folktales offers a rich tapestry of myths, folklore, and fables from many geographical areas. The tales have enthralled audiences for millennia because they frequently contain moral precepts, conventional wisdom, and fantastical aspects. Mabie's "Folk Tales Every Child Should Know" is a literary gold mine that teaches young readers about the diversity of folklore around the globe. In addition to being enjoyable, the stories have cultural relevance since they give readers an insight into the ideals and collective imagination of different historical communities. For people who are interested in traditional storytelling and cultural literacy, the collection is still a useful resource.
