"
Hindle Wakes "
is a much needed and impor
tant social lesson, not because it
necessarily in
volves the idea that every girl must have sex ex
perience before she meets the man she loves, but
rather that she has the right to satisfy, if she so
chooses, her emotional and sex demands like any
other need of her mind and body. When the
Fannies become conscious of that right, the rela
tion of the sexes will lose the shallow romanticism
and artificial exaggeration that mystery has sur
rounded it with, and assume a wholesome, natural,
and therefore healthy and normal expression.
