Woman

<p>In the first chapter of this book I have shown I believe convincingly why sex knowledge is even more important for women than it is for men. I have examined carefully the books that have been written for girls and women and I know that it is not bias nor carping criticism but strict honesty that forces me to say that I have not found one satisfactory girl's or woman's sex book. There are some excellent books for girls and women on general hygiene; but on sex hygiene on the general manifestations of the sex instinct on sex ethics-none. I have attempted to write such a book. Whether I have succeeded-fully partially or not at all-is not for me to say though I have my suspicions. But this I know: in writing this book I have been strictly honest with myself from first page to last. Whether everything I have written is the truth I do not know. But at least I believe that it is-or I would not have written it. And I can solemnly say that the book is free from any cant hypocrisy falsehood exaggeration or compromise nor has any attempt been made in any chapter to conciliate the stupid the ignorant the pervert or the sexless.</p><p>If this book should be instrumental as I confidently trust it will in destroying some medieval superstitions in dissipating some hampering and cramping errors in instilling some hope in the hearts of the hopeless in bringing a little joy into the homes of the joyless in increasing in however slight a degree the sum total of human happiness its mission shall have been gloriously fulfilled.</p><p> </p>
