This is the second book in a two-part collection of 264 primary
source documents from the Enlightenment to 1950 chronicling the
public debate that raged in Europe and America over the role of
women in Western society. The present volume looks at the period
from 1880 to 1950. The central issues-motherhood, women's legal
position in the family, equality of the sexes, the effect on social
stability of women's education and labor-extended to women the
struggle by men for personal and political liberty. These issues
were political, economic, and religious dynamite. They exploded in
debates of philosophers, political theorists, scientists,
novelists, and religious and political leaders. This collection
emphasizes the debate by juxtaposing prevailing and dissenting
points of view at given historical moments (e.g. Madame de Stael
vs. Rousseau, Eleanor Marx vs. Pope Leo XIII, Strindberg vs. Ibsen,
Simone de Beauvoir vs. Margaret Mead). Each section is preceded by
a contextual headnote pinpointing the documents significance. Many
of the documents have been translated into English for the first
time.
