Reactionary Misogyny Three Centuries Older Than Previously Thought

The Saturday Profile article about Louise Richardson, the first woman president of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, the third-oldest university in the English-speaking world, misstated the publication year of a book she cited in her installation ceremony last week as an example of how women have advanced. The book, by John Knox, a St. Andrews graduate, titled “First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women,” was published in 1558, not 1858.
