About this book
The Bitter Cry of the Children criticizes cities in which the needy lack proper medical care and attention, describing a failure to meet the claims of the sick poor. The argument about childbirth calls for all possible care and skill at birth and says a child should be born somewhere other than a factory floor. The proposal concerning women's employment would forbid work for a period of six weeks or two months before and after childbirth.
An account of a mother at work describes her urgent requests to return to a suddenly ill baby, with one foreman refusing permission and a superior foreman eventually allowing her to go home. The discussion offers the employment of every man before the first child as a possible reply to a claim, pointing to the great army of unemployed men.
