This volume is remarkable as it was designed for teenagers and clearly lays out scientific facts regarding menstruation conception pregnancy and even some social issues such as how to deal with Sexual Attraction. This volume was a companion to a book aimed at teenage boys "Attaining Manhood." George Washington Corner was an American physician embryologist and pioneer of the contraceptive pill.
