A propos de cet article

Early American Edition. Original publisher's maroon-brown cloth binding with gilt lettering on front cover and spine. "Scribners" in gilt lettering at tail of spine. Two publishers listed: Walter Scott, Ltd. and Charles Scribner's Sons. No date, circa 1894. 409 pages, complete. Twelve additional pages of advertisements for other books in back (this is a publisher's catalog for "new books imported by Charles Scribner's Sons" which are priced in U.S. Dollars). Index to Authors referenced in back. Former owner's ink signature dated 1894 at top of title page. Pages are clean and intact overall but have light age toning, occasional small marks or spots of foxing, the signature on title page, and a piece missing from Pages 81-82 not affecting text except for page numbers. Covers are clean and intact overall but have slight darkening, rubbing and small marks, slight wear to extremities, and a slight lean toward fore-edge. A Very Good copy. This book comprises a sweeping study of sexual characteristics, gender roles and norms, and physical and mental capabilities of men and women from different cultures. Authored by Havelock Ellis (1859-1939), an English physician, eugenicist, and intellectual who specialized in the study of human sexuality. A few of his ideas about human sexuality were elaborated upon by Sigmund Freud. While Ellis generally had the aim of discussing academic subjects from a scientific perspective, he believed that non-Western ethnicities were "lower races." In this book, Ellis addresses sexual differences between men and women from a physiological and psychological perspective. There is much discussion about gender and sexual norms among both Western and Eastern cultures. The following is a sampling of the subjects that Ellis addresses in this book: gender norms regarding division of labor (he argues that men tend to take on the energy-expending roles such as hunting while women tend to take the less physically-demanding roles but may be more industrious); "status of women in barbarism"; "medieval attitude towards women"; "the physiological mystery of womanhood" (menstruation); "modern status of women"; "human characteristics of infant apes"; sexual physiological differences in men and women regarding body proportions, pelvis, head, brain, and the senses; the argument that men have greater physical range of motion than women; hand dexterity in men and women; dreams and hallucinations in men and women; effects of anesthesia in men and women; "religious hypnotic phenomena"; "affectability of women"; emotions in men and women; "artistic impulse" in men and women; "why women have failed in music"; "why women have succeeded in Fiction[-writing]"; suicide, insanity, and criminality in men and women; methods of suicide in men and women; "variational tendency of men"; "women more disposed than men to preserve ancient customs and ancient methods of thought"; and natality and mortality. Part of the Contemporary Science Series edited by Ellis.…
