Description

"Women and Economics" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a book published in 1898. Gilman argues that women's economic dependence on men has stunted their development and harmed society. She challenges traditional notions of marriage, motherhood, and domestic life, proposing radical reforms like professionalizing housework and creating cooperative kitchens. Her central claim: women must achieve economic independence to transform themselves and improve civilization. The book became wildly popular, establishing Gilman as a leading voice in the women's movement virtually overnight. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
