LESSON IX THE DETERMINATION OF SEX
This guide tackles a subject long shrouded in silence, offering young women—especially those about to marry—a clear, practical look at the biology behind intimacy and motherhood. Written in a straightforward tone, it argues that just as children learn about digestion or circulation, they deserve honest instruction about the body’s reproductive functions before stepping into married life.
The author walks readers through the basics of anatomy, the natural cycles of fertility, and simple hygiene practices, all while challenging the outdated notion that such topics are unseemly. By presenting facts without moralizing, the book aims to empower its audience with knowledge that can foster healthier relationships and more confident parenting from the very start.

A little-known early 20th-century medical writer, this author published candid guides on marriage, sex education, health, and self-improvement at a time when those subjects were often kept quiet. His books now survive mainly through library archives and reprints, giving modern readers a window into the advice literature of that era.
