WOMAN AND HER WANTS;
FOUR LECTURES TO LADIES.
BY MADAME ROXEY ANN CAPLIN.
Kent and Co. Price 1s.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"A new dress and bonnet per month, with an opera-box during the season at the very least. That is the answer which nine men out of ten would give. But this woman in a thousand directs our attention not to the clothing of her sex, but to the bones, muscles, and tissues. Her remarks are unquestionably in earnest, and very probably quite sound."—Press.
"The object of these lectures is to illustrate the effects of clothing on the health and figure of the female sex. All the deformities of after-life are due, says the authoress, to nursing and clothing. The latter of these she endeavours to set right in this very useful little book, which ably exposes the mischief of tight-lacing and the other abuses to which ladies subject nature. Madame Caplin has had great experience, and her book has considerable literary merit to boot.—Morning Chronicle, Dec. 1st, 1860.
