Thank you Ted! I have not been able to find out about Coomes Alley unfortunately. I'd be interested to know.

A seminal article (allusion intended) about the struggle amongst Science, Belief, and Motherhood. Another consideration is the conflict between two tribes of American Capitalism: the native, industrial one (Colt), and the immigrant "retail" one (Strauss). Lurking in the background is a notion that through Science a woman need not be tied to her baby for more than a brief time.
