Woman's Physical Freedom,
book by Clelia Duel Mosher, M.D. (The Womans Press,
New York City, U.S.A., 1923, 87 pages)

Dr. Mosher's thoughts about the future of movies will make you laugh, and her discussion of
breasts, brassieres and corsets reflects the desire of women of that era to conceal them for fashion's
sake. Also, pendulous breast and nursing babies.
