Summary "Our Girls" by Dio Lewis is a health and lifestyle guide written in the late 19th century. The book addresses various topics related to the physical, mental, and social well-being of young women, advocating for a revolutionary approach to their education and health practices. It aims to empower girls by promoting healthy habits, proper dress, and active lifestyles while also discussing societal expectations and women's roles.

Lewis shares his experiences from his practice and his time at a school for girls, emphasizing the importance of proper footwear to encourage healthy walking and posture. He uses illustrative anecdotes, including a lively classroom discussion about shoe sizes, to highlight the impact of footwear on health and movement, advocating for broader shoe soles and healthier practices.
