About This Item
New York: Doubleday, 1990. hardcover. Book VG+: mild foxing fore edge text block, text clean, binding tight./DJ VG: mild shelf wear, not clipped. 8vo 360pp. from front flap: "Here at last--unexpectedly from the pen of a German theologian--comes the definitive study on the oppression of women in Western society. The tale Uta Ranke-Heinemann has to tell--fascinating and horrifying by turns--begins with ancient, pre-Christian taboos and the relatively healthy attitudes of the ancient Jews towards sexual matters. Dr. Ranke-Heinemann confronts us with the incontrovertible evidence that the early Christians chose, not the Jewish perspective, but the pessimistic pagan models of sexual conduct." #02131.
