Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sexes Throughout Nature
In this faith, I offer the public these. Somewhat fragmentary papers; believing that they contain the germs of a new scientific estimate of feminine nature, from its earliest dawning in the plant up to devel 0ped womanhood in all its present complexity. They are probably faulty in many things, and may be proved to be wrong even on some very important points. The work is printed as it was written - ih snatches - not because the writer would escape the labor of systematic revision, but from the con viction that it will be more acceptable to the general reader in its present form. There are occasional repetitions, but, it is believed that each presents the subject in some new phase. The discussions are brief. Many other facts might be given, and many additional points brought forward in evidence of the main positions. But perhaps the book is quite long enough as it is.

The Sexes Throughout Nature (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the prevailing scientific views of the late 19th century regarding the differences between men and women. The author, a woman venturing into a field traditionally dominated by men, argues against the established notion of male superiority. The text critiques the theories of renowned evolutionists like Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin, who posited that women's development is arrested due to reproductive functions and that males have evolved superior physical and intellectual traits. Instead, this book proposes a revolutionary concept: the sexes, across all species, are 'true equivalents' ΓΆβ β possessing distinct but balanced sets of strengths. The author meticulously examines the natural world, from plants to complex animals, highlighting the intricate ways in which female traits compensate for male advantages. The intricate dance of evolution, it is argued, ensures a harmonious equilibrium between the sexes, fostering the survival and advancement of each species. This exploration delves into diverse areas such as physiology, psychology, and even morality, seeking to demonstrate the equal value and significance of feminine characteristics. Ultimately, this book challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of gender roles and embrace a perspective that recognizes the inherent equivalence and complementary nature of the sexes within the grand scheme of evolution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332229635_0
