520 _a"The Girl Wanted: A Book of Friendly Thoughts" by Nixon Waterman is a collection of motivational essays written in the early 20th century. The book is aimed at young women, encouraging them to embrace their importance in society and to cultivate a positive character. Waterman draws from the wisdom of notable thinkers, presenting ideas on character development, the significance of maternal influence, and the value of kindness and gratitude. At the start of the volume, the author engages directly with the reader, emphasizing the incredible potential girls possess in shaping their futures. He discusses the importance of living in the moment and making the best out of one's circumstances, while also highlighting the role of early impressions and the influence of one's environment. The opening sets a tone of optimism and purpose, encouraging the reader to reflect on their personal thoughts and actions as vital components in achieving a fulfilling life. Through metaphors and reflections on daily virtues, Waterman nurtures a belief in self-worth and the power of positive actions, laying the groundwork for the essays that follow.
