Excerpt from Maidenhood and Motherhood, or Ten Phases of Woman's Life: How to Protect the Health, Contribute to the Physical and Mental Development, and Increase the Happiness of Womankind

There is o higher study for womankind than woman. There is no way in which the women of to-day can so well or surely help themselves and those about them and confer lasting benefits upon their children and their race as by learning to understand their own delicate organizations and how best to cherish and protect them. Mothers mold the characters of their sons and daughters, by their early training or by want of it, either for good or for evil. Even the best mothers, either through mistaken delicacy or want of information, often neglect to instruct their daughters in those matters about which they most need to know. The little girl realizes that she is not a boy; she does not know why. She changes to maidenhood without realizing the great purpose which Nature is working out, and often comes to womanhood without more than suspecting the grave responsibility of living and giving life. Her children die in infancy and she is tempted to blame Providence for afflictions which it might have been within her power to avert. If they grow to mature years it may be with a weak constitution or imperfect health, which had their cause and beginning in her own lack of information before they were born.
