In this revised second edition of her first book "The evolution of woman" (1894), subtitled "An inquiry into the dogma of woman's inferiority to man", Eliza Burt Gamble uses Darwin's theory of evolution and other scientific information to compare the development of the male and female organisms and describe their differences. Introducing the role of the woman in prehistoric society, we see how that changed through the course of history, from evidence both in less advanced tribes and in civilized historic societies, to the marked progress in the social and economic conditions of women in the time this edition was published (1916). - Summary by Rapunzelina (9 hr 28 min)

I was just listening enraptured with the depth of discussion. When I first started listening I thought it would be of some sort of feminist complaint against men. It wasn't though it was a perspective on female contributions, and hindered institutions that stop progress for everyone.
