I read this book for an assignment, and it had some interesting passages, but it was a little dry and out of date for my taste. ( ) Readable, and often interesting, but also somewhat repetitive at points and dated, particularly in early chapters. If you're interested in the subject as applicable to early twentieth century American thought, I recommend it, but otherwise, unless you want it as a foundational text, I imagine there are better and more up-to-date choices. Still, if you don't have a background in economics (and I don't), this isn't a bad choice for pulling in some of the basics as considered here. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was an ardent feminist and outspoken champion of women's rights. In this profoundly insightful and cogently argued work, Gilman describes how the social and sexual disparities between men and women, long thought to be preordained and unchanging, are actually the result of economics. The position of women as the property of men, their inability to earn in proportion to the amount of work they do, and the very devaluation of their work, all tend to the exaggerated social differences between men as "providers" and "competitors" and women as "helpless" and "unproductive." These differences lead to social dysfunction and ultimately to the destruction of the bond that ought to exist between and unite the sexes. Gilman's classic plea for greater parity for men and women still speaks directly to the problems women continue to face in the workplace as well as to the ways men view women.
