Harper asserts the superiority of men while painting all women with a broad brush, claiming they are inherently illogical and physically inferior. His so-called facts are a reflection of his misguided beliefs, suggesting that a womans primary role is submission and that her intellect pales in comparison to that of men. With statements like Womans Mission is Submission and A womans reason is a notoriously inadequate mental process, Harpers views may be outdated, yet they offer a fascinating glimpse into the past. Join Bev J. Stevens as she narrates this provocative text that, despite its flaws, provides a unique lens on gender dynamics of the time.]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6900623/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>History</category><copyright>Copyright Science Stories</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/0c57cfe226a1870fffacfc7c2af93aee.jpg</url><title>Revolted Woman</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/revolted-woman--6900623</link></image><lastBuildDate>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 11:04:07 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>Charles George Harper</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Science Stories</itunes:name><itunes:email>spreaker32@podcastlibrary.org</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/0c57cfe226a1870fffacfc7c2af93aee.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>Dive into the controversial opinions of Charles Harper in 1894 as he presents a one-sided view of women that is both shocking and entertaining.
