This is a collection of essays about love, relationships between men and women, and the need for sex and relationship education—so to some extent nothing much has changed in 115 years or so: these matters are still very much on the agenda. Here and there though, despite the enthusiasm for women's freedom, independence, equality with men, and right to meaningful education, there's still an undertone of women being intellectually inferior to men and more emotional and irrational. All in all, definitely worth reading. ( )
