Table of ContentsThe International Health Exhibition of 1884; doctors and architects; female regulation of the healthy home; childbirth at home; domestic architecture and Victorian feminism.ReviewsCombining sophisticated interpretation of building designs with a solid grasp of medical and women's history, Adams has written an imaginative, interesting book about the rise of the 'house doctor' in late nineteenth-century England. Bulletin of the History of Medicine; Adams's argument is original, insightful, and provides a very different way of understanding architecture from the modes usually employed by architectural historians. Architecture in the Family Way is a very smart, intellectually inventive, and well-written demonstration of how architecture is implicated in a broad array of social changes. Elizabeth Cromley, School of Architecture, SUNY Buffalo.; An extremely interesting subject. Adams has successfully brought together three distinct themes: the history of domestic architecture, the development of the hygiene movement, and the involvement of women in promoting the healthy home. I recommend the book most highly. Tanis Hinchcliffe, School of Architecture, University of Westminster.
