Reproduction of the original.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from A Woman's Life-Work: Labors and Experiences of Laura S. Haviland The ready sales of the two editions of the unpretending book entitled, "A Woman's Life Work," during the two years past, induces the author to venture a third edition, with earnest prayer that the youth may be encouraged, the middle-aged strengthened, and the aged invigorated in working together with God, in rescuing the perishing by the perusal of these simple recitals of trials and victories, that have been neither few nor far between. Yet these checkered paths are for all earnest workers for God and humanity; but with the eye of faith we see the ready hand that uplifted doubting Peter when dashing waves caused that beloved disciple to cry for help. Sustaining grace was found while standing by my dying son Joseph B. Haviland, of Traverse City. When the brittle thread of life was broken I cried in my distress: "Oh, Lord! why, oh, why must this dear one be taken in the prime of life from his devoted family? and here am I, past threescore years and ten, to be left. But thou knowest all, and doest all things well. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2019 From National Book Award finalist Megan K. Stack, a stunning memoir of raising her children abroad with the help of Chinese and Indian women who are also working mothers When Megan Stack was living in Beijing, she left her prestigious job as a foreign correspondent to have her first child and work from home writing a book. She quickly realized that caring for a baby and keeping up with the housework while her husband went to the office each day was consuming the time she needed to write. This dilemma was resolved in the manner of many upper-class families and large corporations: she availed herself of cheap Chinese labor. The housekeeper Stack hired was a migrant from the countryside, a mother who had left her daughter in a precarious situation to earn desperately needed cash in the capital. As Stack's family grew and her husband's job took them to Dehli, a series of Chinese and Indian women cooked, cleaned, and babysat in her home. Stack grew increasingly aware of the brutal realities of their lives: domestic abuse, alcoholism, unplanned pregnancies. Hiring poor women had given her the ability to work while raising her children, but what ethical compromise had she made? Determined to confront the truth, Stack traveled to her employees' homes, met their parents and children, and turned a journalistic eye on the tradeoffs they'd been forced to make as working mothers seeking upward mobility—and on the cost to the children who were left behind. Women's Work is an unforgettable story of four women as well as an electrifying meditation on the evasions of marriage, motherhood, feminism, and privilege.
An outspoken Christian reproductive-justice advocate draws on his upbringing in the Deep South and his experiences as a physician and abortion provider to explain why he believes that helping women in need without judgment is in accordance with Christian values.
"When Harriet Harman started her career, men-only job adverts and a 'women's rate' of pay were the norm. Female MPs were a tiny minority and a woman couldn't even sign for a mortgage. In A Woman's Work Harriet, Britain's longest-serving female MP looks at her own life to see how far we've come and where we should go next. This is a refreshingly honest account of the part she played in the movement that transformed politics and women's lives."--Provided by publisher.
