    In Search of the English Female Identity

    About this ebook

    In this first volume we look; without prejudice from prehistoric Law of Strength, through to the all-encompassing links of Plato’s ‘Great Chain of Being’ and how the determined efforts of a few powerful “women hating” men impacted on the lives of females throughout the then known world.

    We see how through the arrival of Christianity upon the shores of England, the Great Chain tightened its stranglehold slowly destroying the individual identity of all English women; no matter their Class or Status, until they were nothing more, and always referred to a man’s Daughter, Wife or Widow.
