About this book
In a period marked by burgeoning social change, Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "Women and Economics: A Study of the Economic Relation Between Men and Women as a Factor in Social Evolution" challenges the traditional economic roles assigned to women. Gilman meticulously analyzes the concept of women's economic dependence on men, revealing how this dynamic shapes societal structures and progress. With a focus on the interplay between gender and economics, she advocates for women's autonomy and participation in the workforce as essential to social evolution. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, this seminal work invites readers to reconsider the foundational economic principles that have historically marginalized women, urging a reevaluation of their role in shaping society.
