The Public and Private Care of Infants, released in 1912, is a silent film from Edison Studios. This early cinematic work explores the challenges faced by a young widow as she navigates the complexities of caring for her two infants.
This film is pretty obscure, and it seems to be hard to find in decent quality. I've only come across a few restored versions floating around. Collectors show a bit of interest due to its historical context and the early portrayal of motherhood, but it still sits in the shadows of more popular silent films. If you find it, it's worth a watch, if only for its unique perspective on a woman's role in early 20th century society.
