Synopsis

Excerpt from Man and Woman: A Study of Human Secondary Sexual Characters

About twelve years ago, for my own instruction, I began to collect definite data concerning the constitutional differences between men and women. I was moved to do this because I realized that such differences lie at the root of many social questions in which I took great Interest, and I knew of no full and unprejudiced statement of the precise facts. I have continued to collect, sift, and ponder over my data for some years after I had satisfied myself personally as to their general significance and drift, because I believe that there are many men and women who are in the same position as I was twelve years ago, and who will welcome this book as I should have welcomed it at that time. When I look into newspapers and magazines, and observe the reckless or ignorant statements that are still made regarding these matters, I am strengthened in my belief. To the best of my ability I have here presented an anthropological and psychological study of those secondary sexual differences which recent investigation has shown to exit among civilized human races.

Biographie de l'auteur

Henry Havelock Ellis, known as Havelock Ellis (born February 2, 1859, died July 8, 1939) was an English physician, writer, progressive intellectual and social reformer who studied human sexuality. He was co-author of the first medical textbook in English on homosexuality in 1897, and also published works on a variety of sexual practices and inclinations, as well as transgender psychology. He is credited with introducing the notions of narcissism and autoeroticism, later adopted by psychoanalysis.
