Woman : $b a vindication

** "Woman: A Vindication" by Anthony M. Ludovici is a thought-provoking examination of women's changing roles in a rapidly industrializing world. It challenges widely held beliefs by suggesting that many negative stereotypes about women come from misunderstandings of their true nature and that women have intrinsic traits that drive behavior, whether they are useful for society or damaging. Ludovici sorts women into "positive" and "negative" categories based on understanding human mortality, reproduction and the role of sexuality. Ludovici argues that women are unfairly criticized for negative traits, which he sees as the result of poor adjustment and a lack of proper direction, but that they must also live in harmony with their biological and sexual roles. **
