What reading level is Woman in All Ages And in All Countries volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Frequently, the daughters of citizens, through the poverty or greed of their parents, or their own wil- fulness, were driven to a life of shame. Usually, they changed their names, to bring forgetfulness of their former standing, and they sought by outward splendor to make up for the loss of virtue. To us in this day such a change seems most disgraceful; but to the Greeks it appeared to be in many instances nothing more serious than a change of patron goddess. Thus the maiden transferred herself... from the protection of one of the austere virgin goddesses, Artemis and Athena, to that of the gracious and seductive Paphian goddess; or the widow, who with the death of her husband had lost her means of subsistence, would renounce Hera, the goddess of wedded love, for the frivolous and light-minded Aphrodite. This transfer was usually accompanied with solemn religious ceremonies. Greek epigrammatists frequently give us a poetical treat- ment of such life histories, and we thereby gain glimpses into the woes of many a feminine heart; thus we have a pathetic genre picture of a maiden, who, weary of the spindle and the service of Athena, betakes herself APHRODITE PANDEMUS 217 to the patron goddess of the hetasrae and pledges to her for her protection a tithe of all her earnings in her new calling.
