Parenthood, child-rearing and fertility in England, 1850-1914
« on: Saturday 10 November 18 11:20 GMT (UK) »
This is not a brand-new article, but new to me and I have found it a very interesting read on the socioeconomic, cultural and local factors influencing family size, family planning and attitudes to parenthood in the period 1850-1914:
