| Summary |
"Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume 6" by Havelock Ellis is a scientific publication written during the late 19th to early 20th century. This volume focuses on the relationship of sex to society, exploring how societal traditions and environmental influences impact the sexual impulse and its expression. The work is part of a larger analytical examination of sexual psychology, where the author intends to address various important problems surrounding sexual behavior, morality, and traditions. At the start of the volume, Ellis reflects on the foundational influence of motherhood on both individual lives and society. He discusses the critical role mothers play in shaping the child's wellbeing and destiny, emphasizing the necessity for maternal rest before and after childbirth to ensure healthier offspring. He highlights current societal issues, such as infant mortality and the degradation of motherhood due to industrialization, indicating a pressing need for structural reforms in public health and hygiene standards. Ellis illustrates how societal neglect of maternal health and responsibilities adversely affects children's survival and societal progression, advocating for greater awareness and institutional support for mothers to foster a healthier future generation.
