Sexual Education of the Young Woman is an educational book, published in 1923 and written by a psychiatrist and author David H. Keller (1880- 1966). The book provides sexual education guidelines for the girls above the age of six years old. The guidelines concern biological knowledge about the female and male bodies, discussed in the context of prevailing moral and social norms. The book is intended to be read by the young girl herself or conveyed by her parents. As such, it is not only a source of knowledge but also a parenting tool.  
Sexual Education of the Young Woman contains 13 chapters, each dealing with a different topic of sexual education. It has clear views on the issues of morality  and social norms- women are depicted as fundamentally different from men. The author suggests that the life purpose of a woman is giving birth and raising children as well as assuring a cozy and relaxing life for her husband. However, Dr. Keller stresses the importance of proper general and sexual education, and the influence it has on the happiness of a future mother and wife. Sexual Education of the Young Woman is a part of a 10 volume collection The Sexual Education Series released in 1928.
 The chapters include:
 The book was written during the time now called the Progressive Era, that marked the period between the 1880s and late 1920s. The progressive era was a response to the Second Industrial Revolution and the social problems that arose with it. Among other things, the progressive era saw changes in the way sex and morality were regarded. In the early 1900s the Victorian values were still prominent, regarding sex outside the marriage as immoral and sexual education as leading to moral misconduct. However, the flux of immigrants following the industrial revolution led to increased rates of prostitution. Additionally, instances of children and adolescence labor were on the rise, allowing the youth to gain information outside their homes, threatening the reliability and morality of the sex-related information. These social problems called for changes in sexual education, hence, in 1912 and 1914 the National Education Association proposed the adoption of sex education in schools  The topics in the Sexual Education of the Young Women reflect the post-industrial revolution problems. The author dedicated individual chapters to discuss prostitution and the health dangers it poses to the prostitutes and the society. Additionally, chapter "the working girl" deals with an issue of children labor and the lack of accessible education. The author also acknowledges that every young girl should be provided with sexual education, mirroring the concerns of the National Education Association. However, the sexuality of women was still conceived in the Victorian terms, as witnessed in the writings of Guernsey, where woman's sexuality was still regarded as sinful and immoral. Similarly, Dr. David H. Keller names the virginity and prudence as the most valuable merits of a young woman. The idea that women sexuality is natural and normal finally became widespread with the rise of Sexual Revolution (1960-1980). 
 A young girl must realize that only by being a healthy woman can she be a happy wife and a normal mother of healthy children. She can accomplish this end by being clean herself during the years prior to her marriage David H. Keller was best known for his horror and science fiction writings. In turn, the non- fictional publications, such as Sexual Education of the Young Woman, did not receive prominent reviews. However, his work in fiction has obtained mixed opinions; some critics claimed that David H. Keller added to the development of science fiction genre, while others criticized him for a rather mediocre writing.
