The Man Who Hated Women: Sex, Censorship, and Civil Liberties in the Gilded Age

byAmy Sohn

The Man Who Hated Women examines sex, Censorship, and Civil Liberties in the Gilded Age, combining Amy Sohn's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and social science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
