In Defense of Women

Exploring the complexities of gender dynamics, H. L. Mencken's work offers a provocative critique of societal norms surrounding women and men. Although not an advocate for women's rights, he argues that women possess greater wisdom and cunning. Addressing enduring issues like monogamy, prostitution, and sexual harassment, the book remains relevant to contemporary discussions. Mencken's sharp wit and straightforward style make this 1922 publication a timeless examination of the relationship between the sexes, now presented in a fresh design by Waking Lion Press.
