About This Item
New York: Macmillan, 1959. New York: Macmillan, 1959. First abridged edition by Gordon Rattray Taylor. 8vo. Hard cover binding, 451 pp. The Mothers was written as an attempt to explode the fallacy, propounded by Westermarck and others, that lifelong monogramy was the normal pattern of marriage throughout human society, polygamy representing a degeneration from the original monogramic pattern. Through his study of the history of marriage, Briffault provided evidence that women were socially predominant across cultures and across ages. This is an abridgment of the original 3-volume set. Price-clipped dust jacket, light soiling. Near fine in very good dust jacket, protected with an archival-quality mylar cover.. First Abridged Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo.
