About this book
In a time when women's roles were largely confined to the domestic sphere, "Marriage as a Trade" by Cicely Hamilton challenges the conventional view of matrimony as a mere romantic union. This incisive socio-political treatise critiques the economic implications of marriage, highlighting how women often navigate their identities through the lens of financial necessity. Hamilton boldly asserts that the institution of marriage operates as a commercial transaction, where unspoken contracts dictate the lives of wives and mothers. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work invites readers to reconsider the dynamics of gender and economy in society. Dive into Hamilton's compelling arguments and explore the intersection of personal choice and economic survival.
