The pamphlets that circulated at the time reveal a great deal about the terms of the debate, and these six constitute a significant body of primary literature, allowing the contending voices to be heard anew.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Included here are two pamphlets about gossips by Samuel Rowlands, William Heale's treatise against wife-beating, Christopher Newstead's argument for the superiority of women, and Hic Mulier and Haec Vir, two pamphlets that address the theme of cross-dressing. Introductions by Susan Gushee O'Malley place each pamphlet in a wider context, and detailed annotations shed light on the individual texts.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edited by Susan Gushee O'Malley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53615356576124,"sku":"9780252071287","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780252071287_5ff98bab-5937-486a-9025-a817cef19ecc.jpg?v=1726048110","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/custome-is-an-idiot","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
