Wendla Bergmann, an adolescent in late-nineteenth century Germany, laments that her mother gave her �no way to handle things� and has not taught her the lessons she needs to learn (�Mama Who Bore Me�). She tells her mother that it is time she learned where babies come from, considering that she is about to be an aunt for the second time. Her mother cannot bring herself to explain the facts about conception clearly to Wendla despite knowing her daughter is reaching puberty.
