About this title

Synopsis

Originally published in 1921. A study of the influence of "The Queen of Weapons" upon the moral and social standing of women. The contents include detailed chapters on: Venus Victrix: Woman as influenced by the sword - Pleasure and Self Interest - The sword as exposed to the disintegrating influence of women - Love and War - The Age of Chivalry - Ladies as Duellists - Gallant Ladies - Women's infatuation for the sword - The all-conquering sword etc. Many of the earliest books on weapons, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
