The Adolescent Girl Among Primitive Peoples (1913) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781167178627)

The Adolescent Girl Among Primitive Peoples is a book written by Miriam Van Waters and published in 1913. The book explores the lives of adolescent girls in various primitive societies around the world, including in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Van Waters draws on her own experiences as a social worker and anthropologist to provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of the challenges faced by adolescent girls in these societies. She examines issues such as puberty rituals, marriage customs, and the role of women in these societies.The book also explores the impact of colonialism and other external influences on the lives of these girls, and the ways in which they have adapted to changing circumstances. Van Waters argues that while life for adolescent girls in these societies can be difficult, they are also resilient and resourceful, and capable of navigating the challenges they face.Overall, The Adolescent Girl Among Primitive Peoples provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of adolescent girls in diverse cultures, and offers valuable insights into the ways in which gender roles and social norms vary across different societies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
