Named after the Alexandrian lecturer torn apart by a Christian mob, this short polemic asks whether there is a sex war and who is winning it. Dora Russell surveys the early struggles of feminism, the demands of a younger generation, the needs of mothers, and the failings of men, arguing for sexual freedom, birth control and economic independence.
A bold, quotable feminist tract of the 1920s, still lively reading for anyone interested in the history of women’s rights. Download the free EPUB.
