Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book unflinchingly presents data on infant mortality in Pittsburgh circa 1920. At a time when the US government had only recently begun recording and analyzing infant deaths, the author took a deep dive into local records to reveal the drastic realities faced by mothers and babies in the industrial metropolis. The author provides an in-depth look at official city documents, presenting an unflinching analysis of the city's infant mortality rate, causes of death, and the impact of factors such as poverty, housing, and lack of prenatal care. The author expertly places the city's struggles within the broader context of infant mortality in the United States, comparing Pittsburgh's grim statistics to those of other major cities at the time. This book stands as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by marginalized communities and the importance of public health initiatives in ensuring the well-being of future generations. Its insights remain relevant today, emphasizing the ongoing need for equitable healthcare access and support for vulnerable families.
