Young ladies who felt left out by professor T.W. Shannon's Perfect Manhood now have their own useful volume to help them achieve their own form of perfection. Framed as a series of condescending "mother's talks", our journey to a More Perfect Womanhood begins with looking at flowers and kittens, and ends with stern warnings of Personal Ruin through spooning (alone or with friends), sleazy novels, moonlit buggy rides, and the greatest menace to mankind: Modern Dance. Features a helpful photo-illustrated section on bathing (why this is not a concern for Perfect Manhood, one can only speculate) and the strange Chapter XII, which seems more a discussion of male sexual development.

Marietta, OH: The S.A. Mullikin Company, 1914 The S.A. Mullikin Company, Marietta, OH. 1914. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Good; wear to tips and edges; spine has missing paper at head and tail; toning to extremities on panels. No DJ. Printed light blue card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 107 pp 8vo. For every boy ten to fifteen years of age. Contains what boys ought to know and no more. Since few boys have been told in a safe and truthful way about their origin, the author tells the stories of life in the first chapters of the book, which parents can use to read to their boys at young age before giving them the book to read at an older age. A boy has a natural interest in knowing the facts in this book and this way he can get the truth and not half-truths from wrong sources. A clean presentable copy.

Truitt and an introduction by Bishop Samuel Fallows, provides an extensive look at eugenics, sexual health, and moral ethics. Originating in the controversial concept of improving human genetics, defined by Francis Galton in 1883 and later marred by associations with Nazi ideologies, eugenics is a contentious topic. Shannon's guide addresses a broad audience, from youth to parents, offering advice on love, courtship, marriage, and parenting within the context of eugenics and social purity. While acknowledging the dark history of scientific racism and abuse linked to eugenics, the book aimed to educate on personal and social health, advocating for informed procreation and responsible parenthood.
