The whole series will be found to bring evidence from all sides, to prove that the greatest evils of modern society had their origin, thousands of years ago, in the dominant abuse of patriarchal life :the custom of womanpurchase. The essays show that this system still persists in the present form of marriage and its traditions, and that these traditions are holding back the race from its best development.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Mona Caird (1854–1932) was a British novelist and early radical feminist social critic who insisted on maintaining her independence after marrying. Her 1888 article 'Marriage', in which she criticised marriage for limiting and subordinating women and called for equality between partners, sparked a furious controversy, and brought her widespread recognition. This volume, first published in 1897, contains a collection of Caird's feminist essays. She analyses the indignities marriage caused for women, both historically and contemporaneously, and advocates both equality in marriage (including in domestic duties) and women's economic independence. Caird also examines and criticises contemporary ideals of motherhood, discussing legislation and changes in social attitudes which would improve the lives of mothers. This volume presents a detailed account of controversial late-Victorian radical feminist views and criticisms.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of the family unit, challenging conventional views on the origins and development of social structures. The author delves into the history of primitive societies, highlighting the significance of the matriarchal system, where kinship was traced through the mother rather than the father. This groundbreaking concept was largely forgotten as patriarchal rule emerged, but the author demonstrates its historical prevalence and lasting impact on modern societies. The book explores the social and legal implications of this shift, examining the rise of the patriarchal system and its consequences, specifically the practice of "woman purchase," which had a profound influence on the perception and treatment of women throughout history. By examining ancient customs, legal codes, and cultural practices across various civilizations, the author reveals the complex interplay of power, tradition, and evolving societal norms. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the deep-rooted origins of gender inequality, offering a fresh perspective on the historical and cultural forces that have shaped the family structure and its enduring impact on human relationships. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
