Contrary to the widely held belief that the home symbolized a refuge and safe haven to Victorians, Adams reveals that middle-class houses were actually considered poisonous and dangerous and explores the involvement of physicians in exposing "unhealthy" architecture and designing improved domestic environments. She examines the contradictory roles of middle-class women as both regulators of healthy houses and sources of disease and danger within their own homes, particularly during childbirth. Architecture in the Family Way sheds light on an ambiguous period in the histories of architecture, medicine, and women, revealing it to be a time of turmoil, not of progress and reform as is often assumed.McGill-Queen's/Hannah Institute studies in the history of medicine, health, and society ;4.Doctors, houses, and women, 1870-1900Architecture, DomesticHealth aspectsEnglandHistory19th centuryArchitecture, DomesticSocial aspectsEnglandHistory19th centuryHousing and healthEnglandHistory19th centuryArchitecture, VictorianEnglandArchitecture and womenEnglandHistory19th centuryArchitecture, DomesticHealth aspectsHistoryArchitecture, DomesticSocial aspectsHistoryHousing and healthHistoryArchitecture, VictorianArchitecture and womenHistory728/.01/03Adams Annmarie1503093MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782642503321Architecture in the family way3849721UNINA
