_The Evening Post_, 3 Apr 1924:
WOMEN IN PRINT.
…
A beautiful little address was given at the Auckland Women’s Progress League meeting by Miss #Litt, on “Motherhood,” beginning with her first experience, when taking up her work, in helping to open a #maternity home at Ashburn. Miss Litt emphasised strongly the necessity for a trained nurse and a midwife in all nursing homes, also that fees are far too high for nursing homes to be of use to the poorer classes, which should not be. Miss Litt spoke feeling of the beauty of #motherhood and deplored the light way it is so often spoken of and regarded, also how often #children appear not to be wanted, as in some boarding houses, for instance, instead of being regarded as one of God’s best gifts, and needed more now, perhaps, than at any other time to take the place of those killed in the war.
