First edition. Inscribed to her daughter, Katharine Beecher Stetson [Chamberlin], in ink at the front flyleaf: to my dear Daughter, / with love, from Mother. / Oct. 11, 1923. In her autobiography, she reflected that the book
seemed to me rather a useful and timely work, treating of matters of both lasting and immediate importance—sex and religion. Unfortunately my views on the sex question do not appeal at all to the Freudian complex of to-day; nor are people satisfied with a presentation of religion as a help in our tremendous work of of improving this world — what they want is hope of another world, with no work in it. (The Living Of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, p. 327)
