Healthy Happy Womanhood.
Toronto: Canadian Social Hygiene Council, Circa 1933. 5.75 x 4.5", stapled, illustrated wrappers, 24 pp. A booklet containing health advice for girls and young women, including advice on exercise, diet, correct posture, proper clothing, and bathing. Much of the booklet provides education about sex, including "the beginnings of life", "the sex instinct", and "the misuse of sex," with the goal of encouraging purity as part of the ongoing campaign against venereal disease: "A handshake extends a friendly greeting. A kiss should mark a pledge of love. A girl who does not value these expressions highly and use them sparingly makes herself cheap and weakens her power of self-protection." The booklet was issued as a tie-in to the 1933 American exploitation-educational venereal disease film, Damaged Lives. Some toning to wrappers, a very good copy. Item #11073
