The Sex Side of Life: An Explanation for Young People
The Sex Side of Life is a sex education pamphlet written by Mary Ware Dennett with a goal to educate her sons, because she was unable to find any adequate books on the subject. Many of the books on sex either contained inaccurate information or used fear and shame tactics to dissuade the youth from having sex. Therefore, she decided to write her own explanation using research and interviews with doctors. The pamphlet was twenty-four pages long. Dennett used scientific discussion of sex while also including the emotion side of sex relations. The pamphlet covered controversial topics including masturbation, sexually transmitted diseases, prostitution, and support for the use of birth control. Her views were considered radical for this time, because she was not promoting abstinence.

An Ideal Kitchen: Miss Parloa's Kitchen Companion
How few people who build houses give proper attention to the plan and construction of the kitchen! Pains may be taken to have the exterior of the building attractive, the halls broad, the parlors spacious and finely finished, the dining-room bright and inviting, the chambers airy and sunny, but the plan of the kitchen generally receives much less thought than its importance deserves. The aim of this book is to show how a model kitchen may be arranged; and although few people may adopt the recommendations as a whole, it is hoped that every reader may find some suggestions of value, to be followed whether the house be already built or yet to be erected. (Maria Parloa, An Ideal Kitchen: Miss Parloa's Kitchen Companion)

Encuentro con otro
Estas líneas buscan ser un libro que brinde la posibilidad de un diálogo donde compartir y sentir intimidad, confianza y cercanía (como quien charla con un amigo una tarde, tomando algo, mirando un paisaje). El encuentro se da cuando se brinda lo que hay dentro y le puede servir a otro. No se puede leer este libro apurado, o con la intensión de llegar al final. Se debe querer seguir leyendo como quien invita a bucear dentro de sí mismo. Hechos que ayudan a ver y verse.
Hechos que nos ayuden a asumir la realidad y ser parte de la transformación desde lo que esté a nuestro alcance, donde este libro no tendría un buen final, si no tuviera una propuesta positiva, pero creo que ahí radica lo positivo, nada está definido, solo un paño en blanco que debe ser escrito cumpliendo nuestro fin último, ser felices.
