Our Girls

"Our Girls" by Dio Lewis is a guide to health and lifestyle from the 1800s. This book champions a new kind of education and health rules for young women. It wants to give girls strength by pushing for good habits, the right clothes, and active lives. It also talks about what society expects from women and the jobs they have. Starting with stories from his own work and teaching, Lewis stresses how important shoes are for healthy walking and standing tall. He brings the topic to life with fun stories, like one where a class talks about shoe sizes, showing how shoes matter for health and how we move, favoring shoes with wider soles and a healthier way of doing things. The beginning of "Our Girls" makes way for a bigger talk about health, learning, and how girls are doing in the world.
