"The Century of the Child" by Ellen Key is a sociopolitical treatise written in the early 20th century. The book examines the rights and needs of children, placing a strong emphasis on their autonomy and the societal conditions affecting their upbringing. Key's work engages in a critical discourse surrounding the roles of parents and society in shaping the next generation, exploring themes of education, parental choice, and the societal responsibilities towards children. The opening of the book reflects on the transition into the new century, characterized by a sense of hope mingled with trepidations about the future. Key articulates a conviction that the success of societal change hinges on the transformation of human nature, particularly regarding the notion of the "holiness of generation." She advocates for a holistic understanding of parenthood encompassing not only the physical act of giving life but also the responsibilities and moral obligations that accompany it—arguing for a future where children are seen as sacred beings with the right to choose their parents, thereby reshaping familial and societal dynamics in profound ways.
