Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men, Women and Progress The following work was the result of the diligent labour and earnest study of the closing years in the life of a brilliant and very active mind; and regret will be general that the writer was called hence before it appeared, and that those finishing touches so necessary to the completion of any book were destined never to be given. As it is, it was felt that to do more than correct those small errors that creep into every manuscript, however carefully re vised, would be trifling with a sacred trust. The book deals with the Woman Question, ' which, under some one of its aspects, enters into every detail of social life. Its object is earnestly to advocate certain much needed reforms, and at the same time to give, as far as possible, every argument both for and against the various points treated of. This the author considered could best be done in the form, already familiarised to us by many well-known works, of a series of conversations or discussions; whilst unity was sought to be imparted to the whole by the undercurrent of a story, which runs through the volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women and Men IN beginning a series of modest papers under this rather ambitious title, I am reminded that, compre hensive as it seems, the phrase is in one respect very recent. It is only within a century or-so that the two sexes have been habitually addressed together. The phrase women and men, or its more com mon form, ladies and gentlemen, or that other form, gentlemen and ladies, which the late Mr. Emerson habitually used, is a comparatively modern thing. Before the advent of Christianity we should not expect to find it used, and accordingly the great orations of ancient times were addressed to men only. Even after Christianity had brought a theo retic equality between the sexes the Jewish tradition still held strongly, and most of the fathers of the Church are, it must be owned, rather oppressively masculine. But among them there is one great. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shall Women Vote?: A Book for Men Considered from the viewpoint of the effect of the new woman's rights laws upon the rights of men, one cannot intelligently appreciate nor discuss the question Should women have the right to vote without knowing that this question involves the most vital point in the history of a movement which 'has been in progress for a gen cration, - a movement which has as its object the stripping of men of their rights, and the trans ferring of them to women and children. The question must be viewed in the light of what men have already suffered by this movement, and what this final demand would mean to them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Human Woman The spirit in which the following pages are offered to the public is not one in which any claims are made for women, as against men neither equality nor superi ority, nor any quality the insistence upon which tends to provoke the desire to con trovert or to condemn, is made the basis of what is hoped will be regarded as a sane and temperate exposition of the views of many women and perhaps more men. The arguments in favour of extending the franchise in any given direction being perfectly familiar to all who have con sidered the political aspect of public affairs, it has not been thought necessary to dwell upon them in connection with the present demand of duly qualified women to partici pate in the election of the representatives of the people. For, brie y, all the reasons that have in the past been advanced in favour of extending the franchise to men.

Download or read book Gendered Paradoxes written by Fida J. Adely and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005 the World Bank released a gender assessment of the nation of Jordan, a country that, like many in the Middle East, has undergone dramatic social and gender transformations, in part by encouraging equal access to education for men and women. The resulting demographic picture there—highly educated women who still largely stay at home as mothers and caregivers— prompted the World Bank to label Jordan a “gender paradox.” In Gendered Paradoxes, Fida J. Adely shows that assessment to be a fallacy, taking readers into the rarely seen halls of a Jordanian public school—the al-Khatwa High School for Girls—and revealing the dynamic lives of its students, for whom such trends are far from paradoxical. Through the lives of these students, Adely explores the critical issues young people in Jordan grapple with today: nationalism and national identity, faith and the requisites of pious living, appropriate and respectable gender roles, and progress. In the process she shows the important place of education in Jordan, one less tied to the economic ends of labor and employment that are so emphasized by the rest of the developed world. In showcasing alternative values and the highly capable young women who hold them, Adely raises fundamental questions about what constitutes development, progress, and empowerment—not just for Jordanians, but for the whole world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of Progress: Stories of Sucessful Americans This book is planned to give as general a view of recent American achievement as possible without becoming of unwieldy size. Invention, discovery and exploration, art, music, philanthropy, kindness to animals, industrial success, aviation, pure and applied science, are all represented. To select the names of the men and women of achievement has not been easy. Some thirty have been carefully chosen with the aim of introducing those whose work reached its consummation within the last half-century; but in a few instances men have been included whose inventions have been greatly developed in recent years, even though by other hands. In making the selection a number of children's librarians have been consulted, with the wish to include as many as possible of the people about whom children come to them for information. There is seldom difficulty in finding biographies of authors, soldiers, or statesmen. For this reason such names have been omitted from this book. The qualities which led these men and women to success have been brought well to the front; and while financial rewards have often been mentioned, success is reckoned in value to the world, rather than in money acquired by the individual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man and the Woman: Chapters on Human Life It must be taken for granted that all understanding between man and woman is simply relative; there are degrees, but seldom completeness. When we recog nize that we only partially know ourselves, that there are shades of character, moods, motives, sudden desires or antipathies or impulses which continually surprise us and evade our discrimination, we must see how impossible it is completely to know any other person. So many personalities seem grouped within the one individual, heredity so complicates matters with the ghosts of a thousand ancestors, that we only faintly apprehend our own characters and never come to a full comprehension. How much more so with the case of another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Economic Position of Women Classic Reprint written by Academy Of Political Science and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economic Position of Women Working women are not only untrained and inefficient, but industrially ignorant and lacking in standards. Hence they put up with whatever conditions the employer imposes. They do not make a fuss, and therefore they get treatment to which no man would submit. Moreover such a large proportion of them are mere pin - money girls that there is no minimum standard of wages, such as is furnished for men by the necessary cost of maintaining a family. Women's wages are perhaps in a majority of cases simply supplementary earnings, and the wages of all women, self-dependent or not, tend to be fixed on the assumption that they will live parasitically on their relatives. As a result of this lack Of standards, the whole subject Of the pay and conditions of women's work is a veritable Chaos. Standardization has been well worked out in many men's trades, and technical progress has followed. In women's occupations it is often easier for an unprogressive employer to throw the burden of his backwardness on docile women employes by paying low wages than it is to keep up With the march of im provement in machinery and methods. SO much for the human element in this problem. On the industrial side we find, as is more than once pointed out in these papers, that industry as now organized takes no cognizance of the special needs Of the worker. Competitive cheapness must be Obtained at all costs. If the worker does not insist on his rights, he gets small part Of the benefits of progress. Hence changes in machinery and organization bring little advantage to women workers; such changes, in fact, are frequently carried through with distinct loss to them, however great the gain to society in general. But more than this, our present industry is made for men, and it wants only standard workers, working standard hours at standard speed. The work ers must conform to this inelastic system or go without a job. Most women are physically incapable, without permanent injury to themselves and the race, of enduring for ten hours a day the strain to which modern industry subjects them; yet they are trying to conform to its mechanical routine instead Of insisting that it be changed to meet their needs. SO long as this change is not made, so long will women's industrial work continue a social menace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
