Synopsis

Excerpt from Modern Woman and How to Manage Her

St. Augustine asked why women were born at all, and warned young men to beware of the Eve in every woman. St. Jerome described woman as the root of all evil; and Luther, although he swept away the preposterous doc trine that celibacy is one of the highest moral virtues, advocated the withholding of culture from women on the ground that no gown worse becomes a woman than the desire to be wise. Under a statute of Henry VIII. Women and others of low condition were forbidden to read the Scriptures. I could fill this chapter with quotations from the Fathers, showing how deep was the distrust and the misunderstanding Of woman during the period when minstrels and poets sang in?ated paeans to the beauty and purity of their mistresses. Many of these pious passages are, to say the least, written in unseemly language; they are all characterised by a spirit of contempt or disgust for women.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
