Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Sydney, Lady Morgan (?1783 1859) is best remembered as a novelist
whose highly successful historical romances often dealt with
sexual, religious and racial discrimination. This work, published
in 1840, examines the role of women in history. Morgan originally
planned to write four volumes, but owing to her ill health only the
first two, focusing on the Old Testament and classical
civilization, were completed. Morgan proposes the view that women
were really the dominant sex that shaped human society. She
criticizes the legal discrimination against women that persists
even in an age when superiority is no longer defined by physical
strength. In Volume 1 she focuses on 'savage' and 'semi-civilized'
peoples, and examples of societies as described in the Old
Testament. Morgan writes vividly and passionately about the
indignities to which women are subjected by men. For more
