Synopsis

Rethinking the Woman Problem asks how culture, psychology, and history shape women’s roles and equality.

This thoughtful examination argues that social change depends less on money and markets than on deeper ideas about womanhood, education, and the aims of companionship. The book considers how traditions like the “lady” and the gentlewoman have influenced intimate life, work, and self‑definition, while inviting readers to imagine a more freely developed individuality for both sexes.

• Understand the long debate about feminine psychology and the limits of broad gender generalizations.
• See how education, culture, and social expectations interact to shape women’s opportunities.
• Explore multiple feminine ideals—from the lady to the comrade and the modern equal partner—and their effects on relationships.
• Learn how historical shifts in marriage, family life, and labor challenge traditional roles.

Ideal for readers of feminist history, psychology, and social philosophy who want clear, evidence‑based discussion about gender, culture, and lasting 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.
