First published in 1913. Part of the Self and Sex Series. According to the Preface: "During a number of years it has been my privilege to be the confidante and counsellor of a large number of young women of various stations in life and in all parts of the United States. These girls have talked freely with me concerning their plans, aspirations, fears and personal problems. It has been a great revelation to me to note with what unanimity they ask certain questions concerning conduct--queries which perhaps might astonish the mothers of those same girls, as they, doubtless, take it for granted…mehr

First published in 1913. Part of the Self and Sex Series. According to the Preface: "During a number of years it has been my privilege to be the confidante and counsellor of a large number of young women of various stations in life and in all parts of the United States. These girls have talked freely with me concerning their plans, aspirations, fears and personal problems. It has been a great revelation to me to note with what unanimity they ask certain questions concerning conduct--queries which perhaps might astonish the mothers of those same girls, as they, doubtless, take it for granted that their daughters intuitively understand these fundamental laws of propriety. The truth is that many girls who have been taught in the "ologies" of the schools, who have been trained in the conventionalities of society, have been left to pick up as they may their ideas upon personal conduct, and, coming face to face with puzzling problems, are at a loss, and perhaps are led into wrong ways of thinking and questionable ways of doing because no one has foreseen their dilemma and warned them how to meet it."

Autorenporträt
Mary Wood-Allen, M.D. (1841-1908), emerges as a significant figure in the nineteenth-century social purity movement, especially recognized for her contributions to the advancement of women's health education. A physician by trade, she channeled her expertise into the realm of literature, aiming to provide didactic guidance for young females of the era. Her most influential work, 'What a Young Woman Ought to Know', belongs to the 'Self and Sex Series,' which sought to enlighten women on matters of sexuality, reproductive health, and moral conduct, a subject often obscured by the societal norms of her time. Dr. Wood-Allen's approach in the book is emblematic of her broader literary style, which combines medical knowledge with moral instruction, a fusion meant not just to inform but to inculcate values in line with the Victorian ideals of purity and self-control. Her contributions extend beyond just her writings; she served as the National Superintendent of the Purity department of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, reinforcing her commitment to societal reform and the upliftment of women's status. Although her work is very much a product of its time, Dr. Wood-Allen's legacy persists in the foundations she laid for future discourse on women's health and sexuality.
