Marriage As A Trade (1909) - Cicely Mary Hamilton - Bog

Marriage As A Trade, written by Cicely Mary Hamilton and published in 1909, is a feminist novel that explores the societal pressures and expectations placed upon women to enter into marriage as a means of financial security and social status. The story follows the lives of three women, each from a different social class, as they navigate the challenges of finding suitable husbands and maintaining their own independence and autonomy. The characters struggle with the limitations placed upon them by their gender and the societal norms of the time, and the novel ultimately questions the institution of marriage and its impact on women's lives. Hamilton's work was seen as controversial at the time of its publication due to its frank discussion of sex and marriage, but it has since been recognized as an important feminist text that paved the way for future discussions of women's rights and gender equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
