South African born writer and broadcaster Winifred May de Kok (1893-1969) had attended medical school in England during the 1920s and was in medical practice until 1953, when she became a television broadcaster, engaging in discussions of family life and health on her BBC program Tell Me, Doctor. This photograph was distributed in connection with the 1935 publication of Guiding Your Child through the Formative Years (Emerson Books). The author of many popular books, such as New Babes for Old (1932) and Your Baby and You (1957), de Kok was married to a well-known short story writer, Alfred Edgar Coppard, and is shown with their two children.
