Women and Economics - A Study of the Economic Relation Between Men and Women as a Factor in Social Evolution

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Women and Economics," Charlotte Perkins Gilman offers a pioneering exploration of the intersection between gender roles and economic structures, challenging the prevailing societal norms of her time. Written in a compelling and accessible style, the book critiques the economic dependency imposed on women and emphasizes the necessity for their independence and active participation in the workforce. Gilman's arguments are underpinned by a socialist feminist perspective, intertwining social theory with practical implications, and situating her work within the late 19th-century context of the women's suffrage movement. Her eloquence and clarity highlight not only the moral imperatives for gender equality but also advocate for systemic changes that recognize women as essential contributors to the economy. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, an influential figure in feminist literature and activism, wrote this work during a period of great upheaval regarding women'Äôs rights. Her own experiences, including a troubling marriage and subsequent mental health struggles, informed her passionate advocacy for women'Äôs autonomy and economic self-sufficiency. Gilman's background in sociology and her keen insights into societal norms shaped her vision, positioning her as a formidable voice in both literary and social reform circles. "Women and Economics" is essential reading for anyone interested in gender studies, economics, or social reform. Gilman'Äôs incisive analysis not only resonates with contemporary discussions on gender equality but also serves as a historical document illustrating the ongoing struggle for women'Äôs rights. Readers will find that her arguments compel a reevaluation of traditional notions about women's roles in society, offering profound insights that remain relevant today.

Christianity and Critical Race...

Robert Chao Romero, Jeff M. Liou

Critical Race Theory (CRT) has become a lightning rod in American politics and evangelical Christianity. This book offers a critical but constructive and sympathetic introduction to CRT written from a perspective rooted in Scripture and Christian theology. The authors take us beyond caricatures and misinformation to consider how CRT can be an analytical tool to help us understand persistent inequality and injustice—and to see how Christians and churches working for racial justice can engage CRT in faithful and constructive ways. 
 
 
 
The authors explore aspects of CRT that resonate with well-trod Christian doctrine but also that challenge or are corrected by Christian theology. They also address the controversial connection that critics see between CRT and Marxism. Their aim is to offer objective analysis and critique that go beyond the debates about social identity and the culture wars and aid those who are engaging the issues in Christian life and ministry. Reflection/discussion questions, exercises, a glossary of key CRT terms, and suggested readings make the book helpful for students or small groups.
