Publisher's Synopsis
""Sex In Education Or, A Fair Chance For The Girls"" is a book written by Edward H. Clarke that explores the impact of education on the physical and mental health of young women. The book argues that girls are not biologically equipped to handle the rigorous demands of higher education and that excessive mental exertion can lead to a variety of physical and mental health problems, including infertility, nervous breakdowns, and even death. Clarke suggests that girls should be educated in a way that is tailored to their unique physiology and that excessive mental exertion should be avoided. The book caused controversy when it was first published in 1873, but it remains an important historical document that sheds light on the cultural attitudes towards women's education in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
