viii, 292 p. 21 cm

From a review of the book in the American Political Science Review (November, 1912) by James M. Callahan, "This is one of a dozen or more books on woman (sic) which have recently appeared. The author (is) a zealous advocate of complete women's political suffrage as a vital and national issue...As indispensable reforms, Mr. Hecker urges that the double standard of morality for the sexes must gradually be abolished, the age of legal consent made uniformly twenty-one, the evil of prostitution be taught to the public, and women trained as fellow citizens and given the full right and opportunity to enter any profession or business they may desire.
