Through the examination of rare books, letters, hand-written diaries, and other archival materials, “The Secret Lives of Girls and Women” exposes a wide spectrum of feminine mysteries. The exhibition includes many hidden or concealed aspects of female life found within beauty secrets, secret languages created by women, literary secrets, social taboos, and more, as revealed throughout history. “The Secret Lives of Girls and Women” is scheduled for display through Sunday, Sept. 1, in the Eberly Family Special Collections Library Exhibition Room, 104 Paterno Library, on Penn State’s University Park campus.
