wholly responsible. In barbarous times and
races his position was not by any means
uniformly that of headship If the truth
could be arrived mt, it might appear that
the opinion Of the woman Of man then was

was physically strong land that was not
primarily his FAULT, was put forward to do
the fighting but the women often went
