Notes : Originally published by Leonard Smithers in collaboration with the booksellers Robson & Kerslake. Reissued by Charles Carrington, ca. 1912.
Gynecocracy was translated in French as La Gynécocratie ou La Domination de la Femme, par Jacques Desroix, précédé d'une Étude sur le Masochisme dans l'Histoire et les Traditions, par Laurent Tailhade, Paris, Charles Carrington, 1902. With a frontispiece by Martin Van Maele. This edition removed all sexually explicit content.
A full, non censured, German translation was published as : Weiber Herrschaft... Erster und vollstandige Ubertragung aus dem Englischen von Erich von Berini-Bell, Leipzig, 1909.
A sequel was published in 1898 : The Petticoat Dominant, or, Woman's revenge: the autobiography of a young nobleman as a pendant to Gynecocracy, by M. Le Comte Du Bouleau.
The attribution of Gynecocracy to Havelock Ellis has no strong evidence, as mentionned by Peter Mendes, but Gynecocracy was probably from a different hand than its sequel The Petticoat Dominant and the previously published novel The Yellow Room (1891), both works that can be attributed to London lawyer Stanislas Matthew de Rhodes.
