Summary: Good Information, Uneven Writing
Comment: The one point that I found of particular interest was the waxing and waning of women's social and economic status with changes in sex ratio (the number of women in porportion to the number of men) and the economic effect women's control of property had on the lives of men. Women gained when their numbers were few relative to the numbers of men, and women's control of property was restricted when it interfered with young men's abilities to make their marks in the world. There is a lot of information and valuable historical perspective; however, the author vacillated between failure to develop some important points and overdiscussion of others. Isolated sections (far too few) were quite good--good writing and good information with a balanced analysis. Banner chose a worthy subject, and she is a good writer. The book would have benefitted from more attention to organization of the material and a more stringent editor.
