Women And Economics - Charlotte Perkins Stetson - Bog

Women and Economics is a groundbreaking book written by Charlotte Perkins Stetson (later known as Charlotte Perkins Gilman) in 1900. The book is a comprehensive study of the economic relationship between men and women as a factor in social evolution. Stetson argues that women's economic dependence on men has been a major obstacle to their social and political progress throughout history. She also explores the ways in which women's economic status affects their ability to participate in society and to achieve equality with men.The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the historical and social factors that have contributed to women's economic dependence on men. Stetson argues that the division of labor between men and women has been shaped by cultural and economic factors, and that this division has been reinforced by social institutions such as marriage and the family. She also explores the ways in which women have been excluded from the labor market and denied access to education and training.The second part of the book focuses on the potential for women's economic independence to promote social and political progress. Stetson argues that women's economic empowerment will not only benefit women themselves, but will also contribute to the development of a more just and equitable society. She advocates for women's access to education, training, and employment opportunities, as well as for the recognition of women's unpaid labor in the home.Overall, Women and Economics is a seminal work in the history of feminist thought. Stetson's analysis of the economic relationship between men and women remains relevant today, and her advocacy for women's economic empowerment continues to inspire feminist activists and scholars.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
