Jane Anger Her Protection for Women was originally crafted as a response to a pamphlet that no longer exists, Thomas Orwin's Boke His Surfeit in Love, with a Farewel to the Follies of His Own [P]hantasie (1588). Such antifeminist tracts were unfortunately not uncommon. However, Anger's polemic was the first text by an Englishwoman in defense of her sex. Though the author on the title page is listed as "Gent.," most scholars think that the voice is certainly that of a woman.
