Biography

Meyrick Booth (1883-1968) was a British educational psychologist.

Reviews for the original edition:

“A very valuable and sensible book, Dr. Booth has an ample knowledge of the relevant literature, both at home and abroad, and brings back to good sense issues that have been obscured by the leaders of feminism and are ignored by the public. His clear thinking and copious documentation should be impressive to those who believe in a social philosophy.” – English Review

“Absorbingly interesting … I wish everyone would read it.” – Everyman 

"Not only an interesting but also a highly suggestive ... well-informed and sensible book." – Journal of Education

"A very good and a very wise book ... marked by a wealth of learning and a mastery of facts which persuades without ever being tedious." – Eugenics Review
