520    This work provides a study of American women's responses 
       to evolutionary theory and illuminates the role science 
       played in the nineteenth-century women's rights movement. 
       Here the author reveals how a number of nineteenth-century
       women, raised on the idea that Eve's sin forever fixed 
       women's subordinate status, embraced Darwinian evolution, 
       especially sexual selection theory as explained in The 
       Descent of Man, as an alternative to the creation story in
       Genesis. The author chronicles the lives and writings of 
       the women who combined their enthusiasm for evolutionary 
       science with their commitment to women's rights, including
       Antoinette Brown Blackwell, Eliza Burt Gamble, Helen 
       Hamilton Gardener, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Elizabeth
       Cady Stanton. These Darwinian feminists believed 
       evolutionary science proved that women were not inferior 
       to men, that it was natural for mothers to work outside 
       the home, and that women should control reproduction. The 
       practical applications of this evolutionary feminism came 
       to fruition, it si shown, in the early thinking and 
       writing of the American birth control pioneer Margaret 
       Sanger. In contrast to the extensive scholarship that has 
       been dedicated to analyzing what Darwin and other males 
       evolutionists had to say about women, this work offers 
       information on what women themselves had to say about 
       evolution. -- From book jacket.
