Synopsis

Exploring the woman problem through ideas, history, and psychology This compelling nonfiction work examines how culture, education, and social norms shape gender roles. It invites readers to rethink long‑standing assumptions about women, men, and their relationships.

Wrought from philosophical inquiry, the text questions whether improvements in economics alone can change real relations between the sexes. It explores how ideals of femininity and the concept of the lady have evolved, and what that means for love, independence, and mutual respect. The author argues for a new understanding of intersexual companionship rooted in individuality and equal development.

• A critical look at common stereotypes about women and how they arose.


• Discussion of education, culture, and the shift toward partner equality in love.


• Analysis of different relationship models—from domination to comradeship—and their implications.


• Consideration of how historical changes influence today’s views on gender and society.

Ideal for readers of gender studies, philosophy, and social history who seek a thoughtful, historically grounded perspective on womanhood and equality.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from A Survey of the Woman Problem: From the German of Rosa Mayreder

In this book I have dealt in my own way with the problems of the woman's movement. Although in some respects I am not in entire agreement with this movement, I regard it, nevertheless, as one of the phenomena which honourably distinguish the present epoch from all previous periods of human history; nay, more, it seems to me to be one of the finest manifestations of an epoch which otherwise, in its poverty of ideals, of noble feelings, and of passionate beliefs, betrays evidence of degeneration.

Many of the ideas contained in my work may frequently have been expressed before. The first outlines were made fifteen years ago, and certain experiences of my early youth gave me the initial impulse to write it. Those readers, however, who are already acquainted with the literature on the subject will, I hope, find enough that is new to compensate them for what is old; while that large majority which, unfortunately, still knows very little about the movement, must remain satisfied with the comprehensive view of it which I have endeavoured to present.
