The figure of women has changed during the history, and in a new developed Victorian Britain it started to assume a new important role. As Anna Davin shows in her journal published in 1978, which includes a series of different point of view of the main characters of the Victorian period (1837-1901), the figure of the woman started to have a significant role related to the word Motherhood and related to the Empire. In 1883 the image of Motherhood started to be related with the empire. It is important to say that in this period the role of the empire was really crucial, and it was celebrated in a number of way, for instance with the Great Exhibition in 1851 or the Diamond Jubilee in 1897, where the greatness of the Queen and of her reign was celebrated. There was a change in the opinion of the people, who now thought that it was a matter of the state to increase the population, because the children of today are the children of tomorrow(p. 43). Before this period , as Charles Kingsley said in 1858, there was another view on the increase of the population, it was seen as dangerous, it could have brought to the decline of the community(p.10). But after 1883 and especially because of the first Boer War in 1880 and 1881, there was a shift about the opinion on the increase of population, because more children meant more soldiers in the future and the construction of a new imperial race. Imperialism was a civilizing mission of the white man, that was superior to the black or brown people, the native inhabitants of their colonies, from which the reign drew lot of advantages. The author shows the new importance that motherhood assumed during this period of imperialism. From now motherhood is a matter of the state, which can intervene if it is not done in the right way. In 1890 in Victorian Britain leaflets about infant care started to be distributed, because at this time the infant mortality was really high. The empire blamed mothers for the high number of death: mothers were the most adequate persons that can take care of the child and that can raise him to be healthy, so it was her fault if the child dies, it meant that she doesn't do her duty as a good mother. There was the belief that working-class women were ignorant about child-care and so they must be educated to do that. They were accused of being uneducated, and for this reason was born the St Pancras School of mothers(p. 38-39). Founded by Dr Sykes in 1907, they have a specific vision on the role of the mother. She was the centre and all around there were the children that needs her protection (p. 38). And the mothers needed protection too. So Dr Sykes determined a new kind of system, in which he could direct the mothers that needed help in a safe place and help them in their difficulties. The new centre provided very different kind of things, from consultation to housekeeping and cookery. They taught also the mother how to feed herself, because maybe sometimes to give the food to the children and the husband, she waived to eat or gives herself less than necessary. To this school were sent all the notification of birth, in order to be able to do statistical plans. It was taught that the love of a mother is the best thing in the world, and so they have to love their children and their family. This centre was so important that started to grow in other cities, like Glasgow, and also stated other movements related to it (p.42). They always blame the mother for what happened to the children so that in these years it was really important to g
