In Defense of Women

Crackling with controversy and sarcastic sense In Defense of Women is H. L. Mencken's disrespectful look at the connection between the genders. Despite the fact that Mencken didn't support women's rights he described women as wiser than men and referred to various examples of females' breathtaking ability and cunning. This book first published in 1922 examines topics of current interest to readers such as monogamy prostitution the double standard sexual harassment and declining birth and marriage rates. Written in Mencken's characteristic style in a straightforward way In Defense of Women is a book that is always everlasting.
