Description

Woman: An Historical Gynaelogical and Anthropological Compendium, Volume Two provides information pertinent to relationships of women to the male sex.

This book discusses the concepts of modesty, chastity, and respects for women in cultural history. Organized into 39 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the sexual relation of woman to man.

This text then explores various topics, including love and the artificial arousing of love, various forms of betrothal, marriage, procreation, impregnation, and conception.

Other chapters consider the position of woman in the family and in the nation.

This book discusses as well the reciprocal relations between husband and wife, which are of the highest significance for the stage of morality to which each people has attained.

The final chapter deals with the different kinds of customs that are associated with or directly attached to parturition. This book is a valuable resource for anthropologists, ethnologists, and research workers.
