About This Item
New York: E.P. Dutton & Company. Good in Very Good+ dj. (c.1924). First Edition. Hardcover. [a good sound copy with only modest shelfwear -- but NOT that there is considerable pencil underlining throughout text; it would be erasable, but only with a lot of effort]. "A sane and valuable contribution to our knowledge in a difficult yet vitally important field -- that of sex-education for girls and young woman." As stated in the Preface, the objective of the author's research, carried out under the auspices of the Department of Psychology at Columbia University, was "to discover the actual state of sexual knowledge of young women of more than average education." To this end 160 girls between the ages of 17 and 23 were surveyed, via an extensive questionnaire (almost 900 questions). PLEASE NOTE that there is extensive pencil underlining throughout the text, and additional pencil notes on the rear endpapers. .
