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

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

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 Gilman'Äôs incisive analysis not only resonates with contemporary discussions on gender equality but also serves as a historical document illustrating the ongoing struggle for women'Äôs rights.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.

Mithras - The Fictional God Who...

Kelly Mass

Mithraism was a Roman mystery religion centered around the god Mithras, also referred to as the Mithraic mysteries. While the Roman version of Mithras was inspired by the Iranian worship of the Zoroastrian god Mithra, the iconography and practices associated with Roman Mithras diverged significantly from their Persian counterparts. The degree of continuity between Persian and Greco-Roman rituals is a subject of ongoing debate among scholars. Mithraism flourished from the 1st to the 4th century CE, particularly among the soldiers of the Roman Empire.
The worship of Mithras involved a complex system of initiation, with seven distinct levels that initiates progressed through. This initiation process was accompanied by ceremonial feasts, and those who joined the religion were called *syndexioi*, meaning "joined by the handshake." These initiates gathered in vast numbers within underground shrines known as *mithraea*. The religion likely originated in Rome, but its influence spread throughout the western Roman Empire, reaching as far as Roman Africa, Numidia, and Roman Britain. Mithraism also had a lesser presence in Roman Syria in the east, though it was never as widespread in that region.
In the early centuries of the Roman Empire, Mithraism and early Christianity were seen as competing religious systems, with Christians later persecuting Mithraists during the 4th century. Over time, Mithraism was gradually repressed and eventually eradicated from the Roman Empire by the end of the 4th century.

These societies, known for their resilience, strategic warfare, and ability to challenge powerful enemies, played crucial roles in shaping the history of their regions.   
Discover the Mapuche Empire, a fierce and independent people of southern South America who resisted Inca and Spanish invasions for centuries.

From relentless resistance to tactical supremacy, these warrior societies shaped the course of history through their unwavering spirit and military innovations. This book is perfect for history enthusiasts eager to learn about the fearless civilizations that defied conquest and fought for their survival.
