pp. xvi, 346. 4 plates (2 iin colour). A very good copy. *The manuscript of this work had been bequeathed by Wright to Romanes, his grandson, in the expectation that it would be seen through the press by him if it was not published in his life-time. Wright had, in fact, published his Preface and first chapter as 'Prolegomena to the Logic which searches for the Truth', 1941.

[Anti-Feminism] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (23 x 15cm), pp.xv [1] 86 [2]. Publisher's blue cloth, gilt titles to upper board and spine. Edges untrimmed. Appendix to rear. Interior lightly toned, gentle spotting to endpapers. Small bookplate to front pastedown. Textblock edges toned. Some faint white marking to boards, rubbing to joints and extremities. Very good. A shocking, almost laughable 70-page tirade arguing against women's suffrage. Providing no actual evidence, Wright delivers chapters on women's intellectual inferiority, the 'biological differences' between a woman's brain and a man's, women's insufficient morality - and finally, a discussion of how best to palliate women if the suffragette movement were to fail - namely, by telling them to just get over themselves. A fascinating look at the inanity women had to endure merely to establish themselves as equal human beings.
