From Library Journal
This five-volume work addresses the history of women from the ancients to the 1980s. Editors George Duby et al. state that this series of books "is the product of a revolutionAan ongoing, far-reaching revolution in the relations between men and women in Western societies." It therefore focuses on the western European experience with some attention to North America and "is intended to be not so much a history of women as a history of the relation between the sexes" because that is "the crux of the problem, the source of women's identity and otherness."

Reader Reviews
One can at once notice the meticulous research that preceded the writing of the book, the more surprising is that the author describes only the reasons why women were considered "vessels of sin" in that period of time and other hideous superstitions attributed to them. No line is dedicated (and to believe that history had not preserved any evidence of the contrary is laughable) about those mothers, mistresses, wifes, sisters that had been deeply loved, adored and respected. To creat an opinion that all women were either adored as saints or abhorred and violently subjugated, would be, to my idea, misleading....
