Why Women Are So

ISBN: 9781330313350 出版年：2016 页码：388 Mary Roberts Coolidge Forgotten Books

These chapters are neither a defense nor an arraignment of womankind; they are, rather, a first-hand study of the ordinary, orthodox, middle class women who have constituted the domestic type for more than a century; the exotic great lady and the morbid woman with a grievance have alike been omitted. They try to answer the query: why are women so? Is the characteristic be havior which is called feminine an inalienable quality or merely an attitude of mind produced by the coercive social habits of past times?
