A fascinating piece of social history, this revised edition of "A Marriage Manual: A Practical Guide-Book to Sex and Marriage" by Hannah M. Stone, M.D. and Abraham Stone, M.D. was published by Simon and Schuster in 1935. This is the twenty-first printing of this groundbreaking work that provided frank, medical guidance on marriage and sexuality at a time when such topics were rarely discussed openly. The authors, both affiliated with the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau and Marriage Consultation Center at the Community Church in New York, presented information in an accessible question-and-answer format. The black hardcover shows honest wear consistent with nearly 90 years of age, with the cover worn and sagging slightly, though the binding remains intact and holding together well. The cream-colored pages have developed a beautiful patina over time. A remarkable snapshot of 1930s attitudes toward marriage, sexuality, and women's health. Perfect for collectors of medical history, social history, or vintage self-help literature.
