Description :

Mary, whose mother has instructed her about love, marriage, and sex, leaves her boyfriend Paul to become a nurse in a New York hospital. Vera, encouraged by her mother to marry a rich man, takes and apartment from a young millionaire who promises marriage but only gives her syphilis. Mary and her doctor treat Vera and show her examples of the ravages of the disease. Mary meets other suffering women: an Irish servant girl betrayed by a chauffeur who dies after her baby is born; a garment worker who contracted syphilis from a soldier's forced kiss; and the invalid wife of a wealthy man whose philandering caused her condition, the blindness of their child, and the suicide of one of his conquests. Paul, about to enlist, suggests he and Mary have sex before he goes. Disappointed in him, Mary also rejects the proposal of her doctor. Mary and the doctor enlist and go overseas to serve. After seeing the kind of man he is, Mary agrees to marry him. <102mn>

"While the setting and costumes are 15 years old, the scientific facts, public health measures and medical treatment are as applicable today as they were then. The realistic presentation of incidents in the lives of the characters, particularly of the two young women most concerned, will stand as an appeal to the best impulses and aspirations toward fine manhood and womanhood."~11.
