An unusually well-preserved copy in the scarce original jacket. 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. …

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.…
