Mark Twain is an American writer, journalist and social activist. His work covers a variety of genres - humor, satire, philosophical fiction, journalism and others, and in all these genres, he has consistently taken the position of humanist and democrat. Advice to Little Girls is a humorous short story written by Mark Twain. The story is written in a tongue-in-cheek tone, and the title is meant to be ironic, as the story's content is not actually good advice for little girls to take. The piece references fantasies of resolving sibling tensions, such as scalding a younger brother with hot water. Twain's mock seriousness and absurdities mean that what often starts out as a reasonable suggestion for mutually compatible co-existence ends up as being ludicrous.
