The article presents an overview of the book "The Man -a Woman - Marries," by Victor Cox- Pedersen. As a subject for literary discourse matrimony is gaining steadily. Without losing time on loose talk the physician plunges in medias res. The first section of his book is devoted to a matter-of-fact discussion of the mechanics and physiology of sex, a discussion that would do justice to a book on biology. In a book on the man a woman marries, one might expect an analysis of physical traits likely to affect sexual selection, something of the compatibility of types, some comments on respect for personality, on personal freedom, on the shift of attitudes ushered in with the arrival of the "modern woman."
