Review:

This 1999 fifth edition contains significant new material compared to the previous 1992 release, and includes Montagu's new preface, an insightful introduction by Susan Sperling which explains Montagu's ideas in the context of current feminist theory....The noble ideas in this work will provide insight, courage and inspiration. The Natural Superiority of Women will help every thinking man to better appreciate the true essence of women, and help every woman to gain the vision and confidence to fulfill herself, nurture her family, stand up for her rights and make the world a better--a more equal and a more loving--place to live. (Michael Pastore Midwest Book Review)

Reading this book is a journal of discovery as Montagu sheds light on so many myths and customs that societies take for granted, including women. (Fran Hoskens Women's International Network News)
