He raised the question of why women were excluded and provided answers based not on sex but on social conditioning, education, and the prejudices of their more powerful oppressors. His declamation, disseminated through the printing press, illustrated the power of that new medium, soon to be used to generate a larger reformation of religion.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0226010597\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0226010597.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Agrippa, Henricus Cornelius|Rabil Jr., Albert\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
