📚 Sex Facts for the Adolescent and Matured Woman (1922) – Early 20th Century Sex Education 📚

Description

Dr. Samuel Dana Hubbard (1869–1937) was a prominent early 20th-century American physician specializing in dermatology. Serving at the New York City Children’s Hospital and as Director of the Bureau of Public Health Education in New York City, he was deeply committed to public health initiatives. Hubbard authored numerous educational booklets in the 1920s, such as “Sex Facts for Young Men,” “Facts About Motherhood,” and “Sex Facts for the Adolescent and Matured Woman.”

These works aimed to provide accessible sex education to the general public, addressing topics like venereal diseases, prostitution, and personal hygiene. Notably, Hubbard also ventured into film, producing educational movies like “Some Wild Oats” to further disseminate information on sexual health and morality.

Published in 1922, this small booklet offers a window into early 20th-century medical and social attitudes toward women’s health, sexuality, and morality.
