"Woman—through a man's eyeglass" by Malcolm C. Salaman is a collection of social and character essays written in the late 19th century. The work offers a man's perspective—often reflective and witty—on various types of women encountered in British society, blending observation, anecdote, and light satire. Its likely purpose is to both amuse and provoke thought about gender roles, romantic ideals, and the diverse expressions of womanhood. The opening of the book introduces Salaman’s philosophical musings on the nature of women, love, and marriage. He sets a tone of thoughtful admiration, tinged with confessions of personal experience and humorous resignation about his own bachelorhood. The early chapters then proceed as a series of sketches: the “Little Widow” is cast as dangerously charming and masterful in flirtation, “My Mother” is idealized with heartfelt affection, “The Socially Ambitious Woman” becomes a satire on social climbing, “The Domestic Woman” explores the resignation and fulfillment of home life, “A Modern Lady-Novelist” is painted as talented but self-absorbed, while “The Disappointed Spinster” and “The Individual Woman” are depicted with a blend of sympathy and critical insight. Each portrait combines anecdote, social commentary, and personal reflection, giving readers a lively, period-specific exploration of femininity seen through the author’s lens.
