A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

Mary Wollstonecraft

Sinopse

"I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves."

At a time when women were viewed as mere decorative ornaments or domestic servants, Mary Wollstonecraft issued a radical call for change. In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, she challenges the educational and social systems of the 18th century that kept women in a state of "perpetual childhood." She argues that women are rational beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men, and that a truly just society can only exist when both sexes are equally educated. Bold, fiery, and profoundly logical, this work laid the intellectual groundwork for the suffrage movements that would follow a century later.

The Power of Education: Wollstonecraft's central argument is that the "frivolity" of women in her time was a product of a culture that only valued them for their beauty. By advocating for a national system of co-education, she envisioned a world where women could be independent, contributing members of society and "rational companions" to their partners.

A Revolutionary Spirit: Written as a response to political theorists who excluded women from the "rights of man," this book is a masterpiece of Enlightenment thought. Wollstonecraft applies the principles of liberty and equality to the domestic sphere, demanding that justice begin at home.

Why It Is Essential Today: As the mother of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley and a pioneer in her own right, Wollstonecraft's voice remains a powerful reminder of the struggle for self-sovereignty. Her work continues to inspire anyone fighting for the right to think, learn, and live freely.

The instinct of workmanship

Thorstein Veblen

"The Instinct of Workmanship" is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and social theorist. The book was published in 1914 and explores the relationship between humans and their work. 
Veblen argues that the instinct of workmanship is a fundamental human trait that drives individuals to create and produce. This instinct is rooted in our desire to improve our own lives and the lives of those around us. However, Veblen also contends that this instinct is often hindered by the influence of social and economic institutions, such as the profit motive, the division of labor, and the competitive nature of capitalist markets. 
Veblen explores the implications of these hindrances for individual well-being, social progress, and economic development. He argues that the current economic system is inefficient and wasteful, and that it fails to promote the full expression of the instinct of workmanship. He proposes alternative economic and social structures that could better facilitate the development and expression of this instinct, such as a society based on collective ownership and control of production. 
Overall, "The Instinct of Workmanship" is an important contribution to the fields of economics and sociology, and it remains relevant to contemporary debates about the nature and purpose of work, the role of institutions in shaping human behavior, and the possibilities for creating a more just and equitable society.

Freedom Riders The: The History...

Editors Charles River

After a 1960 Supreme Court decision in Boynton v. Virginia, bus segregation was made illegal on new grounds: it violated the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution, by regulating the movement of people across state lines. With this victory in hand, the Freedom Rides of 1961 began. Organized primarily by a new group – the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) – the Freedom Rides followed the same guidance that inspired the Montgomery Boycott and the Greensboro Sit-Ins – non-violent direct action. The purpose of the Freedom Rides was the test the Supreme Court's decision by riding from Virginia to Louisiana on integrated busses. This was notably the first major Civil Rights event that included a large segment of white participants.
Mobs in places like Birmingham and Montgomery firebombed buses and brutally beat the Freedom Riders, sending dozens to the hospital. Mob violence, orchestrated by the KKK and their segregationist allies, erupted endlessly throughout the summer. White activists, who were viewed by the Ku Klux Klan as betraying their race, took the worst beatings of all.
Both black and white Northerners had participated in the Freedom Rides, and civil rights activists sought other ways to harness their energy and activism in 1963. After the Freedom Rides, civil rights leaders initiated voter registration drives that could help register black voters and build community organizations that could help make their votes count. The momentum generated by the Freedom Rides and the following activism would lead to the famous March on Washington and eventually the passage of a historic civil rights bill in 1964.
