About this book
Margaret Slattery begins with the practical rights of girls: decent housing, nourishing food, education, safe recreation and companionship. Her book of religious and social counsel asks what Christian faith can offer when those needs go unmet. A Christmas shopping scene brings a tired fourteen-year-old shop worker face to face with a wealthy customer, giving the discussion of poverty and privilege a concrete human setting.
Slattery also considers ambition, peer influence, parental guidance and the responsibility of churches. In the chapter on the average girl, she contrasts two towns whose everyday habits and opportunities shape their young people. The emphasis falls on translating belief into better conditions and purposeful conduct. Readers interested in the history of girls' education or Christian social reform will find an argument that connects personal ideals with the work of families, schools and communities.
