Hardcover. Zustand: VG. No Jacket. 1st ed. xvi+346; clean tight & unmarked internally. Dark cloth covers clean with no significant wear but slight bottom spine bumping and loss of surface sheen to back plus some faint brown flecking to front endpaper reduce it from VG to VG- rating in my view.

A notorious anti-suffrage polemic by the physician and bacteriologist Sir Almroth Wright, published at the height of the militant campaign for votes for women. Wright attempts to rebut the arguments for women's political equality before advancing his own case against the parliamentary franchise, based upon supposed female deficiencies in physical force, intellect and public morality. His book provides a striking record of the prejudices confronted by the suffrage movement. Copies of the first edition occur in the publisher's cloth, but survival in the original dust jacket is considerably less common.…

A fascinating look at the inanity women had to endure merely to establish themselves as equal human beings.…
