This book is the second of a trilogy dealing with sexual experience in women. It is in the main a compendium of case records drawn from Dr. Dickinson's lengthy practice as a gynæcologist, classified and presented by Miss Beam who has specialized in applied psychology and education. The arrangement of the material is made on a basis of types of sexual experience and interest.

For the psychologist this study is of very limited value. Collected, from the psychologist's point of view, by an untrained observer, the data is very haphazard and will hardly help either to develop old or stimulate new theoretical work. But what it lacks in depth, it perhaps makes up in numbers, for we have here records of such a mass of cases as, through the very nature of his work, no psychologist could collect. This fact gives the book a utility as a check and a source of corroborative evidence. With its two companion volumes it can do something towards supplying that quantitative aspect which psychological research tends to lack.
