Abstract

Reviews the book, Man and Woman: A Study of Human Secondary Sexual Characters by Havelock Ellis (1894). There is a keen general interest in the problem with which this book is concerned--the real differences between the sexes, and the light thrown by them upon the possible future position of woman in social and political life. The author has had such questions distinctly in view through his long and conscientious study of his theme; but at its close he candidly acknowledges that the mass of material he has brought together, however valuable for many purposes, does not answer the inquiries for which many would turn to his volume.
