Sexes In Science And History

Sexes in Science and History

by Eliza Burt Gamble

Eliza Burt Gamble's 'Sexes in Science and History' (originally published as 'The Evolution of Woman' in 1894) examines the historical and scientific perspectives on the development of gender roles and the perceived differences between men and women. Drawing on Darwin's theory of evolution and other scientific data, Gamble delves into the biological origins of human sexuality and traces the changing social and economic conditions of women throughout history. The book analyzes how societal structures and cultural norms have influenced the roles and opportunities afforded to women, ultimately advocating for greater equality and recognition of their contributions.
