Publisher's Synopsis
The Book of Woman's Power, written by Ida M. Tarbell and first published in 1911, is a pioneering work on the history and role of women in society. Tarbell was a renowned journalist, biographer, and historian who is best known for her groundbreaking work on the Standard Oil Company and its monopolistic practices.In The Book of Woman's Power, Tarbell examines the social, economic, and political status of women throughout history, from ancient times to the present day. She explores the ways in which women have been oppressed and marginalized, as well as the ways in which they have fought for and achieved greater rights and freedoms.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of women's position in society, from the earliest civilizations through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The second part focuses on the 19th century, a time of significant social and political change for women, including the suffrage movement and the fight for equal rights.The final part of the book looks at the state of women's power and influence in the early 20th century, including their role in politics, education, and the workplace. Tarbell argues that women have made significant progress in these areas, but that there is still much work to be done to achieve true gender equality.Overall, The Book of Woman's Power is a groundbreaking work that sheds light on the history and ongoing struggles of women in society. Tarbell's insightful analysis and passionate advocacy for women's rights make this a must-read for anyone interested in the history of feminism and women's empowerment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
