The Presumption Of Sex

The Presumption of Sex: And Other Papers is a collection of essays written by Oscar Fay Adams and published in 1892. The book covers a range of topics, including gender roles, relationships, and societal expectations. In the title essay, Adams explores the idea that sex is often presumed to be the defining characteristic of an individual, and argues that this presumption is limiting and harmful. Other essays in the collection examine the role of women in literature, the history of courtship and marriage, and the changing attitudes towards sexuality in Victorian society. Throughout the book, Adams offers insightful commentary on the social and cultural issues of his time, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual debates of the late 19th century. The Presumption of Sex: And Other Papers is a thought-provoking and insightful work that remains relevant to contemporary discussions of gender and sexuality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
