| Summary | "Almost A Man" by Mary Wood-Allen is a guidebook for young boys transitioning into manhood, written in the late 19th century. The book addresses the emotional, moral, and physiological changes that boys undergo as they approach adolescence, focusing on the responsibilities that accompany these changes. It likely serves as a resource for mothers and educators, aiming to educate young males about their development in a scientific yet sensitive manner. The narrative centers around a boy named Carl Woodford, who arrives at a pivotal moment in his life as he approaches manhood. Guided by Dr. Barrett, he navigates complex topics including sex, morality, and the importance of purity. Throughout their conversations, Carl learns about the significance of respect towards women and the responsibilities of manhood, gaining insights into how his actions and choices can impact not only his life but also the lives of future generations. This educational journey encourages a deeper understanding of manhood, urging young men to adopt behaviors that promote integrity and respect within society.
