The Politics of Motherhood
During the early twentieth century maternal and child welfare became a national issue for the first time. The child and maternal welfare movement had a significant material and ideological effect on women and it is therefore important to understand the mechanisms which structured and controlled it. Originally published in 1980, The Politics of Motherhood asks why child and maternal welfare policy took the particular form that it did during the Edwardian and inter-war years and in doing so brings together a number of important themes relating to women and social policy.

Mother's Pearls
Mother's Pearls is an inspirational guide for the natural family. It was written as an ode to children with the belief that parenting is a journey of self and an exploration of the wonders of childhood. However, generally speaking, we have overlooked this very important aspect of raising children in our fast paced lives. When we take the time to search for truth, and make decisions from our hearts rather than with our heads, we can make a positive and lasting difference in our children's well being. Dagan's book covers many diverse topics dealing with health, psychology, the natural home, alternative education and more. She explains how illness can be avoided, hyperactivity alleviated and how we as adults can change the destiny of future generations by redefining our priorities based on our children's needs. Mother's Pearls was handed down through generations of intuitive women for the betterment of mankind.
