In Defense of Women is H. L. Mencken's 1918 book on women and the relationship between the sexes. Some laud the book as progressive while others brand it as reactionary. While Mencken didn't champion women's rights, he described women as wiser in many novel and observable ways, while demeaning average men. According to Mencken's biographer, Fred Hobson: Depending on the position of the reader, he was either a great defender of women's rights or, as a critic labelled him in 1916, 'the greatest misogynist since Schopenhauer','the country's high-priest of woman-haters.'

Den var kontroversiell på sin tid, och nu undrar jag om den inte är lika kontroversiell som mein kampf. Dvs om vår samtid skulle känna till den. Den riktar sig till män mer än kvinnor, och förtäljer hemligheter kvinnor förståeligt nog inte för alla pengar i världen skulle berätta för en man.
