vntg E B Lowry 1913 hc HERSELF: TALKS WITH WOMEN ABOUT THEMSELVES gender issues

Description: Fair to Good antiquarian condition, lacking jacket. Hinge exposed at the title page. Boards smudged, with inkled titles and decorations almost completely flaked away. Spine sunned, titles worn off, decorations remaining. Head, tail, conrers bumped and rubbed. Some dirt stains. Claims to be the first book addressing women's biology in layman's terms. First published in 1911, this is a later printing from 1913. It was reissued with a similar title in 1917, this version remains in print. This book remains quite pertinent in its advice to girls today, although a younger-aged female than the original target.It offers sound advice about behaviour and consequences. Also reasonable advice about how the female human body functions, probably quite "modern" for its day.One interesting note: the chapter on contraception states that to offer any advice at all or any product at all that might interfere with conception was a federal offense subject to a $5000 fine and imprisonment. Consequently, the chapter was quite short.The discussion of abortions was quite interesting as well, and pertinent to modern day situations.All in all, much more current to the modern world than one might think.
