The Girl in Her Teens

The Girl in Her Teens by Margaret Slattery is a compassionate, practical guide that gently steers young women through the physical, mental, social, and spiritual changes of adolescence. Drawing on examples and conversations with real girls, Slattery addresses growth, school life, friendships, moral formation, and the role of religion and the church in everyday decisions. Written in 1920, this religious nonfiction/self-help manual reflects early 20th-century Christian values while offering timeless counsel on character, responsibility, and healthy habits. Chapters cover the physical side of development, mental and emotional growth, social relationships, and a clear-eyed look at how girls relate to Sunday school, church, the Bible, teachers, and daily life. The tone is encouraging rather than prescriptive, blending practical tips with moral and spiritual guidance for forming a steady, purposeful life. Ideal for parents, Sunday-school teachers, youth leaders, and anyone curious about historical approaches to adolescence, this audiobook provides both a window into past cultural attitudes and enduring advice for fostering maturity and faith in young women. Listen for thoughtful perspectives on teen development and faith-based guidance that still resonates today.
