| Publisher Description: Swedish-born Key incidentally coined the term, "The Century of the Child" in her most revered work 'Barnets Arhundrae', and proved to be an important - and influential - international figure in the women's rights and suffrage movements during the late 1800's and early 1900's. Beyond this, she also was a significant proponent of social welfare systems for children and mothers. She is known for being a pivotal figure in the Modern Breakthrough movement, and was a pioneer in the child-centric approach to the parental and educational environs. Her fulcrum ideas shaped - and continue to shape - social programs and legislation. Her written works were significant in their deep influence upon other great women as well, including the likes of Montessori, Wagner, Yamada, and Lagerlof. |
