The Woman Tamers

Six essays by Albert Payson Terhune, author of Lad: A Dog, on men in history who have been irresistible to women. Originally published in magazines in 1918. The men covered are, Lord Byron, Napoleon, Jonathan Swift, Alexandre Dumas, Marshal Saxe, and Frédéric Chopin. The book can be considered a companion, of sorts, to Terhune's series of articles (some of which were compiled as a book in 1916) on "Superwomen."
