The Psychology of Woman Laura Marholm

PREFACE: This is the first attempt at a Psychological study of women which has been laid before the public by a woman. That such a work is undertaken from the feminine side might of itself be taken as a contribution to the psychology of women, and will doubtless by earnest and competent critics, be so considered. In this volume, which took shape under the hindrances and disturbances which surround women in the struggle for existence, I have above all, sought to grasp those points of view and facts that are affected by the social position of women in the present and most recent past. I have depicted women as her nature and ideas were formed and must have been formed during the later centuries, and shown why she has arrived at the place where, to the astonishment of many and the satisfaction of a few, she now stands..... This early works is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
