Beschreibung

Essays In War Time is a collection of essays written by Havelock Ellis during World War I. The book contains a total of 14 essays that touch on various topics related to the war, including patriotism, pacifism, and the impact of the war on society. Ellis, a prominent British psychologist and writer, offers a unique perspective on the war, drawing on his own experiences and observations. He explores the psychological effects of war on individuals and society, and questions the morality of war and the role of nationalism in promoting it. The essays are thought-provoking and insightful, providing a valuable historical perspective on the impact of war on culture and society. Overall, Essays In War Time is a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of World War I and its impact on society.It is not even clear that all those who have talked about the ""White Slave Traffic"" have been quite sure what they meant by the term. Some people, indeed, have seemed to think that it meant prostitution in general. That is, of course, an absurd misapprehension. We are concerned with a trade which flourishes on prostitution, but that trade is not itself the trade or (as some prefer to call it) the profession of prostitutes. Indeed, the prostitute, under ordinary conditions and unharassed by persecution, is in many respects anything but a slave. She is much less a slave than the ordinary married woman.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) was a British physician and social reformer best known for his pioneering work in the field of human sexuality. His most notable contributions include his extensive writings on sexual health, gender, and social issues, which challenged prevailing Victorian norms and promoted a more open understanding of sexuality. Ellis is perhaps best known for his multi-volume work, ""Studies in the Psychology of Sex,"" where he explored various aspects of sexual behavior, identity, and psychology. He advocated for sexual education and the importance of understanding sexual health as integral to overall well-being. In addition to his work on sexuality, Ellis was an early advocate for women's rights and gender equality, addressing issues such as reproductive rights and the societal constraints placed on women. His progressive views made him a significant figure in the early feminist movement. His legacy continues to resonate in contemporary conversations about sexual health and rights.
