Abstract
Ward and Thomas expressed concern over the subjection of women but accepted a sexist paradigm for analyzing sexual relationships. Their theories used theoretical mechanisms based on adaptation and complementarity. They envisioned prehistoric women as born superior or equal to men. Eventually, however, women were made biologically inferior by adapting to circumstances created by their passive nature or man s greater passion. Ward's and Thomas' perspectives are identified as corporate liberal and technocratic. In addition to discussing their theories on marriage and the family, Ward's and Thomas' programmatic statements are compared with those of J. S. Mill, the socialists and contemporary women's rights movements.
