Abstract
New England,80 years ago, was a country where Puritan farmers fought to scrape a living from hard, rocky soil; where women, bound by the conventions of centuries, were little more than chattels of men; where higher education for women was unheard of, and where pitifully little was known of disease and its causes and practically nothing of the food needs of the body.
