Excerpt from Talks to Young Women
It is my pleasure as well as my duty to insist, in the first instance, upon woman's intrinsic su periority. This predication must be made care fully, and understood as it is intended. There are many ways in which the two sexes can be compared and contrasted, in some of which the one, and in some of which the other, would have to be accorded precedence. When, therefore, I assert woman's superiority, it requires to be pre mised that I am not thinking of her strength, nor of her capabilities of effect, but purely and simply of the intrinsic quality of womanly fiber. Quite apart from all that She does and the Sphere of her activities, the question comes upon the mat ter of her personal texture, the refinement of its organization, and it is with that only in mind that I want to claim for her a clear and easy supremacy.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of femininity, arguing that women possess a distinct and superior quality that should be cherished and nurtured. The author, a prominent figure in the field, presents a well-reasoned and nuanced perspective, drawing on both biblical and secular sources. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, the book explores the importance of maintaining the distinction between the sexes and the detrimental effects of blurring these lines. The author emphasizes the crucial role of women as homemakers and nurturers, arguing that their true calling lies in raising and educating children. The book also examines the concept of 'andromania,' a desire among some women to adopt masculine traits, and cautions against this tendency, as it undermines the inherent strengths and beauty of womanhood. Ultimately, the book offers a compelling defense of traditional gender roles, asserting that they provide a sound foundation for a fulfilling and harmonious society.
