Modern Woman And How to Manage Her

by Walter Matthew Gallichan

There has been no period of human history when the sons of men have proved invulnerable to the charms and arts of the daughters of men. The poems of the most primitive singers pro- claim the attraction and the grace of Woman, and in all ages poets have acclaimed love with ecstacy and passion. Among the Western nations Woman has been beatified, exalted, even deified. In the East she has stood as the
type of ravishing beauty, as the voluptuous charmer of Man, and the reward for his valour or virtue.

Reviews

[Angeline Walsh · Rating 2 out of 5]

A fascinating historical document, one that is surprisingly supportive of the independence of and the greater education of women. Ultimately, however, the author falls back on the conclusion that women aren’t quite “equal” to men, and the first few chapters are loaded with related nonsense.

The author also completely lambasts Nietzsche, which is very enjoyable and satisfying.
