Many women find pleasure in work and motherhood, but pleasure here is negative.
Another drawing in the book shows that pets are no substitute for children. The second drawing is one of several showing two choices , some applying to men, and what happens with each choice. Here, the recommended choice is to have few children and for the husband to stay home and read the paper rather than sneak out, which can lead to his having to care for the children after his wife's death, perhaps caused by childbirth or overwork. In both columns of the drawing the husband associates with the children only if the woman is not there. SarahAnne Hazlewood generously donated this book to the museum.
