Description

This controversial book was written as a protest in favor of women's rights and a critical description of a woman's position in the post-WWI society. The title itself is ironic: this was not so much a defense of women as a critique of the relationship between the sexes. It covers the following topics: compulsory marriage, women's suffrage, the feminine mind, maternal instincts, the ethics of women, intuition, why women fail, and the future of marriage.
