The Less Noble Sex: Scientific, Religious, and Philosophical Conceptions of Woman's NatureIndiana University Press, 1993 - 224 Seiten This book looks at five major beliefs about woman's nature generally accepted by Western philosophers, theologians, and scientists from the classical period to the nineteenth century.
