...exhibits will obviously impress different groups of people. And it is perhaps not entirely fair to compare two such different mediums from two such dissimilar cultures. Nevertheless it is interesting to consider the means by which an Eskimo and a Russian who emigrated to Paris in 1910 both manage to evoke the spirit of their milieus. The Arctic sculptures convey much of the vastness and harshness of life near the Poke and were carved almost instinctively.

...reason for the revision of the 1959 text is readily apparent. The bibliographical notes are filled with works written within the last fifteen years. And as Flexner herself says: "Nothing could be more dissimilar than the situation of women then and now." Yet the text shows few changes in ideology or essential research, in spite of the fact that the thinking of women and about women has undergone incredible changes in the last fifteen years.
