Sex and Culture
by J. D. Unwin
Publisher: Oxford University Press 1834
Number of pages: 710
Description:

Whenever our knowledge is complete, we find that in any vigorous society the method of regulating the relations between the sexes was constantly changing; and, unless there is direct evidence, it is wrong to assume that in any such society social laws were ever static and unchanging, even for three generations.
