Nostalgia, modernism, and the family ideal -- New occasions teach new duties : Mary Elizabeth Lease's maternalist agenda -- Reclaiming the home : George H. Maxwell and the homecroft movement -- The political economy of sex : Edward A. Ross and race suicide -- Men as trees walking : Theodore Roosevelt and the conservation of the race -- Fitter families for future firesides : Florence Sherbon and popular eugenics -- American pronatalism
Through nostalgic idealisations of motherhood, family, and the home, influential leaders in early twentieth-century America constructed and legitimated a range of reforms that promoted human reproduction. This book looks closely at the ideologies of five influential American figures: Mary Elizabeth Lease's maternalist agenda, Florence Sherbon's eugenic 'fitter families' campaign, George H. Maxwell's 'homecroft' movement of land reclamation and home building, Theodore Roosevelt's campaign for conservation and country life, and Edward Alsworth Ross's sociological theory of race suicide and social control
