Excerpt from Satirycall Dialogue: Or a Sharplye-Invective Conference Betweene Allexander the Great and That Truely Woman-Hater Diogynes
Our knowledge of William Goddard, the satirist, is scanty, even as his books are scarce. Internal evidence is likewise, for the most part, wanting; his satires being in general of an impersonal character.
Flourishing in the reign of King James the first Goddard is thought to have belonged to the Middle Temple; he also appears to have lived for some time in Holland holding there an appointment in a civil capacity. At all events two of his books were "imprinted in the Lowcountryes"; one of them "A Neaste of Wasps," most certainly at Dort in the year 1615, and the other, the present reprint, was also probably issued from the same press.
Beyond these facts nothing is certain.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the misogynistic attitudes prevalent in late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century England. The author's satirical dialogues between the philosopher Diogenes and Alexander the Great reveal the deep-rooted prejudices against women that permeated society at the time. Examining the negative beliefs held by Diogenes, the author presents a nuanced critique of the patriarchal norms that governed women's lives. The dialogues expose the double standards, objectification, and suppression that women faced in their daily existence. The book delves into the complex social and cultural factors that contributed to these misogynistic views, providing valuable insights into the historical context. It also sheds light on the limited opportunities and agency available to women during this period. Ultimately, this book serves as a testament to the enduring struggle for gender equality. By highlighting the pervasive sexism of the past, it encourages readers to reflect on the progress made and the challenges that still remain in the fight for women's rights.
