Item description from seller

First American Printing. No Marks Or Damage, Gilt A Little Faded, Small [Less Than 1/2 Square Inch] Rub Mark On Spine. Per Wikipedia, Ellen Karolina Sofia Key (Swedish: [ˈkej]; 1849 – L 1926) Was A Swedish Feminist Writer On Many Subjects In The Fields Of Family Life, Ethics And Education And Was An Important Figure In The Modern Breakthrough Movement. She Was An Early Advocate Of A Child-Centered Approach To Education And Parenting, And Was Also A Suffragist. She Is Best Known For Her Book On Education Barnets Århundrade (1900), Which Was Translated Into English In 1909 As The Century Of The Child. Key Grew Up In An Atmosphere Of Liberalism, And Throughout The 1870S Her Political Beliefs Were Radically Liberal. She Was Republican-Minded, With The Idea Of Freedom Holding Vast Importance For Her. As The 1880S Advanced, Her Thinking Became Even More Radical, Affecting First Her Religious Beliefs And Then Her Views On Life In Society In General. This Was The Outcome Of Extensive Reading. During The Latter Part Of The 1880S And Particularly In The 1890S, She Began To Read Socialist Literature And Turned Increasingly Towards Socialism. Key Was Raised In A Rigid Christian Household, But While Growing Up She Started Questioning Her Views. From 1879 She Studied Charles Darwin, Herbert Spencer And T. H. Huxley. In The Autumn Of That Year She Met Both Huxley And Haeckel, The German Biologist And Philosopher, In London. The Principle Of Evolution, In Which Ellen Key Had Come To Believe, Was Also To Have An Influence On Her Educational Views. She Is Quoted As Having Said: "Side By Side With The Class War, The Culture War Must Ceaselessly Be Waged By The Young And Among The Young Upon Whom Rests The Responsibility Of Making The New Society Better For All Than The Old Could Be.". …
