Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Woman and How to Manage Her
There has been no period of human history when the sons of men have proved invulnerable to the charms and arts of the daughters of men. The poems of the most primitive singers proclaim the attraction and the grace of Woman, and in all ages poets have acclaimed love with ecstacy and passion. Among the Western nations Woman has been beatified, exalted, even deified. In the East she has stood as the type of ravishing beauty, as the voluptuous charmer of Man, and the reward for his valour or virtue.
Not only among the Eastern races has Woman been regarded as the greatest meed that Man can win. "A crowd of beautiful virgins," it is written in the Edda, "wait the heroes in the Hall of Odin, and fill their cups as fast as they empty them."
