Summary "Sex in Education; or, A Fair Chance for Girls" by Edward H. Clarke is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the relationship between sex and women's education, emphasizing the physiological aspects of female development and how current educational practices may harm young women. Clarke argues that women must be educated differently than men to promote their health and well-being. The opening of the essay sets the stage for an investigation into the impact of education on women's health. Clarke begins by presenting his credentials and the impetus for writing after addressing the New-England Women's Club. He reflects on the discussions his lecture incited, highlighting the societal interest in the topic of female education. With an emphasis on physiology over mere ethics, he defines education broadly, asserting that understanding the unique needs of women is crucial in developing appropriate educational practices that respect their physiological differences.
