The Discourses and Essays of J. H. Merle D'Aubigne (1846)

General Knowledge of Women as a Whole is a serious book, injected with some humor, about menas relationships with women. The author refers to this book as a wake up call for men, and poses the questions: has our society and the legal system trampled on menas rights? Have men become second-class citizens? Have they become the weaker sex? Are women to blame? And, if so, what can men do about it? Mr. Shore believes that long overdue changes need to be made immediately and suggests ways to make it happen, to the benefit of both sexes.
