WOMEN AND ECONOMICS

“WOMEN AND ECONOMICS” by Charlotte Perkins Stetson (later Gilman) is a seminal work exploring the economic oppression of women. Published in 1898, it critiques the exclusion of women’s labor from traditional economic analysis and advocates for their full participation in the economy. Stetson argues that gender inequality undermines societal progress and proposes radical reforms to uplift women economically. Her compelling arguments and persuasive prose challenge prevailing notions of gender roles and economic value, sparking important discussions that resonate to this day. “WOMEN AND ECONOMICS” remains a cornerstone text in feminist economics, inspiring ongoing efforts towards gender equity and social justice.
