In the years around 1900, an unprecedented attack on women erupted in virtually every aspect of culture: literary, artistic, scientific, philosophic. Many of the anti-feminine platitudes that today still constrain women's potential were formulated during this period, as intellectuals banded together to picture women as static and unindividuated beings whose sole function was sexual and reproductive.

"A provocative and absorbing book."-- The New York Times
