Tokology - A Book For Every Woman
By Alice B. Stockham
Published by Butler & Tanner Ltd: London c1907 (Revised Edition)
With Rare Original Unclipped Dustjacket - Covers & Spine Stunning - Plate Booklet Present

" Tokology: A Book For Every Woman is one of the most influential and controversial works of women's health literature produced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Written by pioneering American physician Alice B. Stockham, M.D., the book sought to provide women with accessible, practical, and scientifically informed guidance on pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood, personal hygiene, and family life. At a time when such subjects were rarely discussed openly, Stockham advocated for greater knowledge, bodily awareness, and maternal education, helping to challenge prevailing social taboos surrounding women's health.

Drawing upon her medical experience and reformist ideals, Stockham presents a comprehensive guide to maternity and childbearing, promoting healthy pregnancy, natural childbirth, infant care, nutrition, and domestic well-being. The work is particularly notable for its emphasis on preventative health and the belief that education could reduce suffering during childbirth and improve outcomes for both mother and child. Richly illustrated throughout, the volume also includes a separate booklet of anatomical plates housed in a pocket at the rear, providing readers with visual explanations of female anatomy and reproductive health.

This Revised Edition remains a particularly desirable survival, retaining the scarce original unclipped dustjacket together with the accompanying anatomical plate booklet, features frequently absent from surviving copies. Endorsed on the dustjacket by the renowned birth-control advocate Dr. Marie Stopes, the work occupies an important place in the history of women's medicine, maternal welfare, and early health education. Presented in its attractive original decorative cloth bindings with exceptionally well-preserved covers and spine, it represents a noteworthy and increasingly collectible example of pioneering medical literature directed specifically toward women.
