| Summary | "Girls: Faults and Ideals" by J. R. Miller, D.D. is a thought-provoking work written in the early 20th century. This book can be classified as a self-help guide aimed primarily at young women, focusing on character development and moral ideals. Through a series of reflections and practical advice, Miller discusses common faults observed in young women and outlines the essential qualities of true womanhood, encouraging readers to aspire towards personal and spiritual growth. In this enlightening publication, Miller blends insights from various young men’s perspectives with scriptural references to address the traits young women should cultivate while also recognizing their shortcomings. He emphasizes the importance of traits like gentleness, purity, and moral earnestness, urging young women to engage in self-reflection and to strive for an inner beauty that radiates outward. Miller discusses faults such as frivolity, gossip, and a lack of reverence, while also portraying ideals of a true young woman as one who is supportive, virtuous, and rooted in faith. Ultimately, the book serves not only as a critique but also as a guide, encouraging young women to seek improvement in their character and to contribute positively to their communities.
