Sinossi

In "Women and Economics," Charlotte Perkins Gilman presents a groundbreaking analysis of the socio-economic forces shaping women's roles in society at the turn of the 20th century. Through a blend of sociological insight and feminist critique, Gilman argues for women's economic independence and autonomy as essential to social progress. Drawing on historical context and contemporary issues, her writing style is both provocative and persuasive, inviting readers to rethink traditional gender roles informed by economic dependency. This seminal work not only highlights the impact of capitalism on women's liberation but also critiques the domestic sphere, ultimately advocating for systemic changes in both family structures and broader societal norms. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a prominent intellectual of her time, was steeped in the feminist movement and its implications for women's emancipation. Born into a lineage of social reformers, Gilman's personal experiences with depression and confinement in her earlier years led her to reject conventional views of femininity and domesticity. Her motivation to expose the injustices faced by women, along with her diverse background in literature and sociology, informed her powerful call for economic reform. "Women and Economics" is a vital read for anyone interested in feminist theory, socio-economic analysis, and the intersections of gender and economics. Gilman's insightful critique remains remarkably relevant today, making it an essential text for contemporary discussions around women's roles in society.

    Father Charles Coughlin was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice. This recording is from 1939.

    Leon Trotsky was a Ukrainian-Russian Marxist revolutionary, political thinker, and political leader who lived from November the 7th, in the year 1879 till August the 21st 1940. He developed a variation of Marxism referred to as Trotskyism after being a communist ideologically.Trotsky accepted Marxism after moving to Nikolayev in the year 1896, where he was born to a wealthy Ukrainian-Jewish family in Yanovka (now Bereslavka, Ukraine). He was detained and banned to Siberia by Tsarist authorities in the year 1898 for advanced activity. In the year 1902, he got away Siberia for London, where he ended up being good friends with Vladimir Lenin. At the time of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party's preliminary organizational split in the year 1903, he supported Julius Martov's Mensheviks against Lenin's Bolsheviks. Trotsky was locked up and deported to Siberia after helping to prepare the unsuccessful Russian Revolution of 1905. He got away again and operated in the U.K., Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, and the U.S. for the next 10 years. After the Tsarist monarchy was toppled in the February Revolution of 1917, Trotsky went back to Russia and signed up with the Bolshevik faction as a leader. He was a popular figure in the November 1917 October Revolution, which deposed the new Provisional Federal government, as head of the Petrograd Soviet.Let’s see what else Leon Trotsky did in his life.
