What reading level is The Young Woman's Guide book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus, ifbreakfast is to be prepared, all are to engage in it. One goes thisway, another that, and another that; and it sometimes happens that theycross each other's path and come into actual conflict. One goes for onething, another for another, and so on; and it is not uncommon for twoor three to go for the same article.
That three or four females may thus spend all their time for an hour ormore in getting breakfast, when one alone would do it much more quietlyand a great deal better, and in li...ttle more time than is occupied bythe whole of them, is not the worst of the evil. The great trouble is, that no one is acquiring the habit of self-dependence. On the contrary, they are acquiring so strong a habit of doing things in company, thatthey hardly know how to do them otherwise. True, there is pleasureconnected with this sort of dependence--and most persons areexceedingly fond of it; but the question is whether it is useful--andnot whether it is or is not pleasurable.
Is it best for young women to become so much accustomed to_assist_, merely, in cooking, and in performing other householdoffices, as to feel, even at thirty years of age, as if they could donothing without the aid of others?
