About this book
Confidences Talks With a Young Girl Concerning Herself by Edith B. Lowry opens a gentle, science-based conversation about growing up that has guided mothers and daughters since its first publication in 1919. Combining clear medical explanation with a warm, parental voice, Lowry addresses the practical realities of puberty, bodily development, and emotional change in language suitable for girls aged about ten to fourteen.
Rooted in early 20th-century medical instruction, this book blends instructional clarity and compassionate counsel: it explains physical signs, the care of the body, proper rest and hygiene, and the importance of honest communication between parent and child. Rather than moralizing, Lowry aims to replace ignorance with knowledge, helping families approach sensitive subjects with confidence and respect. The tone is nurturing and direct, reflecting both the scientific understanding of its era and a longstanding desire to safeguard young lives.
Perfect for parents, teachers, or anyone curious about the history of sexual education, this audiobook offers a historically grounded, accessible guide to adolescence. Listen for a thoughtful instructional resource that fosters mother-daughter intimacy and practical understanding during a pivotal time of change.
