In Defense Of Women Rapeted Book)

Exploring the dynamics between the sexes, H. L. Mencken's 1918 work offers a critical perspective on women, portraying them as wiser than ordinary men. Originally titled A Book for Men Only, it underwent a rebranding for a broader appeal with a kinder, expanded second edition in 1922. While Mencken did not champion women's rights, he critiqued societal norms and the absurdity of political and religious beliefs. The book garnered more positive reviews than negative, and its sales improved significantly during the progressive Roaring Twenties.
