These carefully curated snippets cover a wide range of attitudes towards women, both positive and negative, allowing readers to gain a glimpse into the changing viewpoints on gender roles.

One of the book's notable strengths lies in its presentation. The pocket-sized format and concise nature make it easily accessible for readers seeking a brief exploration of this topic. The collection is well-organized, with quotes divided into various themes, enabling readers to navigate through different aspects of women's history and societal dynamics.

However, it is important to note that the book's focus remains solely on men's perspectives, while women's voices are noticeably absent. The absence of a counterbalance to these quotations may leave some readers desiring a more nuanced and comprehensive exploration of women's experiences and observations.

Furthermore, given the brevity of the book, it is important to approach "What Great Men Have Said About Women" as a starting point rather than a comprehensive resource. While it serves as a useful compilation of quotes, readers may find themselves craving additional analysis, context, and viewpoints to gain a deeper understanding.

In conclusion, "What Great Men Have Said About Women Ten Cent Pocket Series No. 77" is a concise and thought-provoking collection of historical perspectives on women. Its accessible format offers readers a glimpse into the evolving attitudes towards gender, but falls short in providing a balanced representation of women's experiences. It serves as an introduction to an extensive topic, leaving readers eager for more in-depth exploration and a broader range of voices.
