• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Olive Schreiner's 'Woman and Labour' is a groundbreaking feminist work that explores the role of women in society and the struggles they face in the workforce. Written in a profound and thought-provoking manner, Schreiner delves into the social and economic conditions that perpetuate the oppression of women, shedding light on the inequality that exists between the sexes. Her literary style is marked by intellectual depth and passionate advocacy for gender equality, making this book a significant contribution to feminist literature of the late 19th century. Schreiner's critique of patriarchal structures and call for reform are as relevant today as they were when the book was first published in 1911. Woman and Labour is an essential read for anyone interested in feminist theory, women's history, or social justice issues. The book serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the importance of challenging established norms and systems of oppression.

Autorenporträt

Olive Schreiner (Ralph Iron Olive) was born in Wittebergen, Cape Colony, South Africa, on March 25, 1855.She was a writer who published the first great South African novel, The Story of an African Farm (1883). She had strong insight, aggressive feminist and liberal perspectives on politics and society, and an extraordinary spirit that was damaged by asthma and depression. Schreiner had no proper education, even though she used to read widely and was taught by her mother. From 1874 until 1881, when she went to England, expecting to study medicine, she wrote two semiautobiographical books, Undine (published in 1928) and The Story of an African Farm (1883), and started From Man to Man (1926), for which she worked alternately for 40 years but never finished.
