First sentence: Let us begin with some simple definitions of the female beast.  The first observation that springs to Man's mind is of woman's ineffable Otherness.  But it was given to Adam to "name the animals":  to achieve mastery over alien beings by categorizing them and putting them in their place.  And so did Adam's sons attempt to do with women.
Description: Here, in the authentic words of its most lucid proponents, is the complete Theory of Female Inferiority, arranged and presented so clearly that even a woman can understand it.  In more than six hundred eloquent quotations - from peasants' proverbs to emperors' edicts - a host of impassioned patriarchs will demonstate the masculine reasoning process by explaining exactly how and why women are inferior to men.
