Description

This book looks at five major beliefs about woman's nature generally accepted by Western philosophers, theologians, and scientists from the classical period to the nineteenth century. These are that: woman is less perfect than man, woman possesses inferior rational capabilities, woman has a defective moral sense, man is the primary creative force, and that woman is in need of control.
