The twentieth century would belong to the child, Ellen Key announced as it opened. Her famous chapters on the right of the child to choose his parents, soul murder in the schools, and the school of the future set off international debate. The Swedish reformer's manifesto shaped a century of educational thought. The book that named an era.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
