LITERARY CORNER

29.

There are several books that I would like to call to the attention of our sorority sisters I believe that you would find all of them interesting and educational.

1. THE NATURAL SUPERIORITY OF WOMEN by Ashley Montegue. The author of this book is professor of anthropology at Rutgers University and quite a capable man. In the book he cites a great many statistics and facts to show that actually woman is quite the equal of man and in many ways superior. in the biological and potential sense that is not in the social or cultural sense where the male has kept her in semi- sujugation till recently

2. THE IMPORTANCE OF WEARING CLOTHES by Lawrence Langner Pub by Hastings House 1959 This is a thoughtful and thought provoking book covering the subject of clothes from about every angle you could think of The author points up some aspects of clothes wearing that one would seldom think of on his own. For instance the emphasis on clothing that put a premium on a womans having a Good bust increased the probability of those women marrying and reproducing and minimized the chances of the less Tell endowed. This therefore is a kind of natural selec tion which over a period of time tends to develop big- busted women at the expense of small ones I'll bet Dar- win never would have thought of that Clothing is im portant in lots of ways and I found this one fascinating.

3. SEX AND SOCIETY by Walker and Fletcher Pub. by Pelican Books 1955 nd 59. I have not yet finished reading this one as we go to press, but it appears to go after the sub- ject in a most intelligent way. It has a chapter on TVism which is refreshing i.e. "When doctors are able to do as little for patients as we doctors manage to do for these cases of transvestism, it would be better for us perhaps to make efforts in another direction. Instead of treat- ing the patients themselves, we might treat with more profit the society which makes it so difficult for them." AMEN--Editor
