Women are groomed to be \"vocational mothers\"--or else sterilized and put to other uses. Written by an author married to one of the world's most prominent eugenics advocates, this ambivalent adventure anticipates both \u003ci\u003eBrave New World\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Handmaid's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e.

In 1926, the year that \u003ci\u003eMan's World\u003c\/i\u003e was published, she married the eminent biologist J. B. S. Haldane. Her 1927 book, \u003ci\u003eMotherhood and Its Enemies\u003c\/i\u003e, made a progressive argument for easier access to contraceptives for women . . . while enraging feminists by arguing that only after having borne children could a woman be regarded as \"normal.\" She went on to found the Science News Service, and reported on World War II from the Russian Front. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhilippa Levine is Walter Prescott Webb Chair in History and Ideas, and Director of British, Irish, and Empire Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
