Himmelfarb, a professor emeritus of history, attempts to reassert the positive aspects of Victorian society. She points out that rates of crime and poverty went down in Victorian England, and contrasts the work houses we know from Dickens with the settlement houses where Oxford scholars taught Shakespeare to the poor. She asserts that we have a lot to learn from the Victorians about `virtues` and moral responsibility. AUTHOR: Gertrude Himmelfarb

 | The Second Sex by H. N. Pashley, Margaret Crosland, Simone de Beauvoir
One is not born a woman, one becomes one --this is the main theme of de Beauvoir's classic 1949 study of the status of women, in which she attempts to show how simply being born female affects a woman's life and choices. The book counsels women not to passively accept their lot, but to pursue meaningful work, and to fight the status of second sex that has been unfairly allotted to them because of their capacity to bear children. De Beauvoir weaves together history, philosophy, economics, biology, and literature in a scholarly but accessible study that was ahead of its time. AUTHOR: H. N. Pashley, Margaret Crosland, Simone de Beauvoir
