“_The book shows a fearless intellectual honesty and a deep sympathy and tolerance; it is the work of a serious student and of a woman who knows life as well as libraries...._ The chapter on ‘Sexual Differences in Mind’ is absorbingly interesting, and based on the latest research. She writes finely and truly on the absurd and indecent cruelty of penalising divorce; on the cherished superstition of feminine passivity in love, and the origin of the chastity taboo on women with its waste of life and love. She even has a sane and humane chapter on prostitution, recognising the complexity of its causes, and the kindness and generosity of these scapegoat women to one another, as well as their erotic insensibility. _The book should be read by all educated men and women._ It will probably be greeted with screams of denunciation from those persons whose hostility forms a hall-mark of mental honesty and social value.”--_The English Review._ “We very heartily commend this remarkable book.... Every chapter abounds in challenges to thought, and we must thank a woman who has dared and cared to think and dared to say.”--_The Pall Mall Gazette._ “One of the most thoughtful books about women I have yet read.... The book is certainly of an advanced feminism, yet the author is found most strongly on the side of marriage, of love, of women’s femininity as their strength; in fact, of all the things which shallow observers suppose the woman movement is actively denying.”--_Truth._ “Sane, sound, and well reasoned ... she has more capacity than any other woman writer of the kind we have yet come across for regarding all questions of sex from the man’s point of view.”--_Glasgow Herald._ EVELEIGH NASH, 36 King Street, Covent Garden, London, W.C.
