"The Truth About Woman" by C. Gasquoine Hartley is a treatise exploring the nature and role of women, written in the early 20th century. The author presents her beliefs regarding the significance of womanhood and motherhood in society, asserting it as a foundational aspect of human existence. The text aims to analyze the biological, historical, and contemporary contexts of women's lives and relationships to men, emphasizing the challenges and responsibilities they face. The opening of the work establishes the author's motivation to contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding women's roles, influenced by her personal experiences and a deep concern for their societal status. Hartley introduces the book by discussing the inherent relationship between womanhood and motherhood, stating that the future of humanity relies upon this connection. Her dedication to her adopted son highlights this theme. The preface signals that the subsequent inquiry will be divided into biological, historical, and modern sections, each designed to unravel the intricate nature of women and their rightful place in a revolutionizing society. The author's intent appears to be one of enlightenment, inviting a reevaluation of assumptions about women and addressing their pivotal place in the progression of human society.
