520			_a"Maternity: Letters from Working-Women" by the Women's Co-operative Guild is a collection of firsthand accounts written in the early 20th century. This work presents the distressing realities of motherhood among working-class women, showcasing their struggles, suffering, and the urgent social issues surrounding maternity that are often overlooked. The letters reveal the harsh conditions under which these women live and raise their children, emphasizing the need for better support and care during pregnancy and after childbirth. The opening of the work features a preface by Herbert Samuel, stressing the need to address the pervasive problems of maternity, particularly for the poorer classes. It sets the stage for the letters, which provide personal insights into the overwhelming challenges faced by these women, such as inadequate wages, lack of medical care, and the physical and emotional toll of childbearing. Through their narratives, the authors express both their resilience in the face of adversity and their desire for societal recognition and improvement in the conditions affecting working mothers, illustrating the urgent need for social change.
