Harnessing the power of motherhood
the National Florence Crittenton Mission, 1883-1925
by Katherine G. Aiken
The National Florence Crittenton Mission (N.F.C.M.), founded in 1883, pioneered rescue work to aid prostitutes, unmarried mothers, and their children through a large chain of institutional homes. In Harnessing the Power of Motherhood, Katherine G. Aiken explores the history of the N.F.C.M., painting a portrait of a politicized organization that became one of the most significant social welfare movements of its time.
Aiken discusses the N.F.C.M.'s development, its programs and policies, and especially its influential leaders, Charles Nelson Crittenton and Dr. Kate Waller Barrett.
