About this title

Synopsis

Are human beings innately aggressive? Does biology condemn women to remain the “second sex?” Taking up such biases cloaked as the findings of science, Reed explains that the disciplines closest to human life—anthropology, biology, and sociology—are permeated with rationalizations for the oppression of women and the maintenance of the established capitalist order.

“This is the sort of book that one should own, one should read, and one should pass along. We all owe Evelyn Reed and her co-workers a very warm vote of gratitude. Her contribution will last, both in the hearts and in the heads of women.” —Status of Women

About the Author

Evelyn Reed (1905–1979) joined the communist movement in 1940 and remained a leading member of the Socialist Workers Party until her death. An active participant in the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s, she was a founding member of the Women’s National Abortion Action Coalition and spoke on women’s rights in cities around the world. She is the author of many works on the origins of the oppression of women and the fight for their emancipation. These include Woman’s Evolution (1975), which has been translated into six languages. Other works include:

Cosmetics, Fashions, and the Exploitation of Women (1986, coauthor)
Is Biology Woman’s Destiny? (1985)
Sexism and Science (1978)
Problems of Women’s Liberation (1969)
