In this 1916 revision of 1893’s The Evolution of Woman, the author asserts that “the female organism is in no wise inferior to that of the male”

even implying women are superior to men, a fact she thinks Darwin covered up. Drawing on contemporary biological and sociological thought, she bolsters her argument with evidence from prehistory, ancient history, and the Renaissance.
