Synopsis & Historical Value
Lyfslim vir meisies, subtitled Oor seks, seuns en die dinge daar onder (about sex, boys and the things down there), is an Afrikaans guide for girls aged eleven and older. It addresses the changes of growing up, the body, sex and boys in a direct but friendly tone.
The back cover presents it as a means to help young readers relax, and as a personal step-by-step manual for the many questions and worries girls of this age may have. The author writes as a mother of four. The book has a companion title for boys, Lyfslim vir seuns.
This is a used collectible copy of a popular modern Afrikaans parenting and sex-education title, of interest to collectors of Afrikaans non-fiction and of South African popular social publishing of the early twenty-first century.
