"Essays" in 2 volumes is a collection of essays upon various social subjects written by the British journalist Eliza Lynn Linton, who was a severe critic of early feminism. Her most famous essay on this matter, The Girl of the Period, was published in Saturday Review in 1868 and was a vehement attack on feminism. Linton is a leading example of the fact that the fight against votes for women was not only organised by men.
