Personal Adjustment
Marriage and Family Living
Landis
3rd Edition
1960
This gem turned up in a donation pile at our library and of course I had to wade through it. The photos were just perfect!
WorldCat doesn’t show any public or school libraries with this outdated book, but a handful of universities do have a copy. Given the number of editions published, this was evidently a popular choice for home ec or health curricula for high schools and possibly college.
Although clearly outdated, these authors do present equality-driven arguments such as the home is both the husband and wife’s responsibility and money should be managed together. There is even a discussion of children of unwed mothers and children and legal standing that is quite enlightened for the time. This wasn’t as bad as I had thought, given the age of this edition.
