In 'Sex in Education; or, A Fair Chance for Girls', Edward H. Clarke discusses the importance of accommodating women's physiological needs in education, arguing that the harsh American educational system of the 19th century was detrimental to female health and energy conservation. Divided into five parts, including physiological and clinical aspects, co-education, and the European approach, the book offers examples of women who ignored their bodies' needs and suffered consequences. While the style may be outdated, readers interested in the subject will find the study inspiring, as it emphasizes the need for a fair chance for girls in education.
