Sinopsis

Jane Anger is credited with being the first feminist writer in the English language. Her pamphlet &lsquo,Protection for Women&rsquo, provides insight into the relationship between the sexes, regarded, for the first time, solely from a woman&rsquo,s perspective.Anger&rsquo,s text refutes the content of a now lost pamphlet &lsquo,Book his Surfeit in Love&rsquo, which outlines the complaints against women of &lsquo,a surfeiting lover&rsquo,, rendered in this modern edition as an &lsquo,over-indulging lover&rsquo, who has &lsquo,gorged on sex&rsquo,.This volume presents the first translation of Anger&rsquo,s pamphlet into modern English together with exhaustive explanatory notes. For the first time, Jane Anger&rsquo,s witty and wily advice to women is easily accessible to a modern reader.This edition also includes a short introduction by the public artist Martin Firrell, together with Jane Anger&rsquo,s original text for anyone interested in the unique &lsquo,music&rsquo, of the 16th-century English.
