Woman and Labour

by Olive Schreiner

This is a groundbreaking feminist work that challenges the status quo of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Written by Olive Schreiner, a pioneering South African author and suffragist, this book delves deep into the complexities of gender roles, social expectations, and the unjust treatment of women. Originally published in 1911, "Woman and Labour" offers a powerful critique of the patriarchal systems that subjugate women and limit their opportunities for self-expression. Schreiner examines the inherent inequalities within marriage, highlighting the economic dependence and domestic servitude that many women face. Drawing upon her own experiences and extensive research, Schreiner presents a compelling argument for the recognition of women's labor, both within and outside the home. She explores the underappreciated contributions of women to society and calls for their economic and political emancipation. Through eloquent prose and persuasive arguments, Schreiner advocates for equality between the sexes and questions the traditional division of labor based on gender. Her thought-provoking insights resonate with readers even in the present day, making "Woman and Labour" a timeless feminist classic. This seminal work not only sparked important discussions during its time but continues to inspire and inform modern feminist movements. Olive Schreiner's "Woman and Labour" remains a significant contribution to feminist literature, shedding light on the struggles women face and advocating for a more equitable world. Whether you're a student of feminist theory, a history enthusiast, or simply intrigued by the fight for gender equality, "Woman and Labour" by Olive Schreiner is an essential read that challenges societal norms and encourages critical reflection.
