In defense of women (Time reading program special edition) - Hardcover
Originally published in 1922, this book considers topics that remain of vital interest to today's readers, including monogamy and polygamy, prostitution, the double standard, sexual harassment, and declining birth and marriage rates.

About the Author:
H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) was an American journalist and author.
