The text of this book was originally published in 1898 as "Women and Economics". It is a study of the economic relation between men and women as a factor in social evolution. Among the propositions advanced are "The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses. The labor of horses enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could. The horse is an economic factor in society. But the horse is not economically independent, nor is the woman."; "A woman should stand beside man as the comrade of his soul, not the servant of his body"; "There is no female mind. The brain is not an organ of sex. As well speak of a female liver"; For over a century this anthropological study of women in society and of their relation to the economy has been used as an academic reference in the fields of women's history, feminist thinking, women and organized labor, and the suffragette movement. The original text has been illustrated with several photos from the period 1895-1905.
