9780483404564: The Woman Question (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

A clear, accessible examination of how modern work, love, and motherhood shape a woman's life—and what changes could improve them.

The book brings together Ellen Key’s core ideas about the woman question and the right of motherhood. It explores how industrial work changes what women do at home, how employment affects marriage and family life, and what a fair social structure could require from both partners to support women’s independence and paid work.

What you’ll experience in this edition:

  • Plain, direct discussion of marriage, property, and family responsibilities in today’s economy
  • Explanations of how work outside the home influences love, health, and child-rearing
  • Arguments for safeguards like shared incomes and life insurance tied to motherhood
  • Thoughtful look at how future social organization could better support mothers and families

Ideal for readers of feminist history and social essays who want a practical, historically grounded view of women’s roles in work and family.
