Woman And Labour (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419194733)

Woman and Labour is a book written by Olive Schreiner, a South African author and feminist activist, and first published in 1911. The book is a collection of essays and articles that Schreiner wrote on the subject of women's rights and the role of women in society.In Woman and Labour, Schreiner argues that women have been historically oppressed and marginalized in society, and that this has had a negative impact on their ability to participate fully in the workforce and to achieve economic independence. She also explores the ways in which gender roles have been constructed and enforced, and how these have limited women's opportunities and choices.The book covers a range of topics related to women and work, including the history of women's labor, the impact of industrialization on women's lives, and the challenges faced by women in the workplace. Schreiner also discusses the importance of education and training for women, and the need for women to have access to the same opportunities and resources as men.Overall, Woman and Labour is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the issues facing women in the early 20th century, and remains a significant work in the history of feminist thought.In that clamour which has arisen in the modern world, where now this, and then that, is demanded for and by large bodies of modern women, he who listens carefully may detect as a keynote, beneath all the clamour, a demand which may be embodied in such a cry as this: Give us labour and the training which fits for labour! We demand this, not for ourselves alone, but for the race.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
