From What a Young Girl Ought to Know (1905), by Ms. Mary Wood Allen. Also in the same books for women series: What a Young Woman ought to Know, What a Young Wife Ought to Know, and What a Woman of 45 Ought to Know. Self help for the 20th century aging woman (see Sylvanus Stall’s comparable anthology for men).
