[TOMT][BOOK][1970-1980?] Each chapter is about a different girl experiencing puberty and adolescence

I'm looking for a book that my mom had partially read to me around 1993-1995 when I was about 8 or 10 years old, though this book might have been published in the 70's or 80's. Each chapter was a different girl's name with the story being each girl's experience of puberty and adolescence. For example, one chapter could have been titled "Angela" and the chapter detailed Angela's experience getting boobs and wearing her first bra. The next chapter could have been Sally and her story of getting her first period. Each chapter had a pen illustration of the girl.

This is most likely a book that I found at the library and brought home for us to read together. This book also had a chapter about masturbation, at which point my religious mother stopped reading and took the book away. I'd like to find it again and finally finish the story I had been excited to hear.

I can't ask my mom because she will not remember. I don't have any siblings. No one else I know read this book. Maybe some GenXer remembers this?
