Originally published in 1967, here is a collection of passages, all linked by their theme, that of being a woman. They are taken from novels, essays, letters and diaries written by or about women concerning their psychology and position in society from the later eighteenth century onwards. In these days of emancipation and assumed equality (in some countries at any rate) it is as well to remember the very recent past and to look forward to the future, for \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e girls will have, certain problems to face just because they are girls. It is best to be prepared.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe anthology was chosen and organised for girls who were taking English, either for General Studies or in preparation for University. The extracts cover a wide range of styles and periods, and were selected both as representative of their time and as good examples of prose. Love, sex, marriage, motherhood and the wider role of women in society are among the topics covered, and there is an ample list of suggestions for further readings, biographical notes on the writers and suggested questions for discussions or essay-writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e June Wedgwood Benn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036786035X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367860356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.39d","brand":"June Wedgwood Benn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945462628607,"sku":"9780367860356","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_91999f89-f913-4935-a321-8c11f48e9152.jpg?v=1681508436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-womans-view-june-wedgwood-benn-9780367860356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
