Woman And Labour

Woman and Labour is a book written by Olive Schreiner, a South African author and feminist. Published in 1911, it is a collection of essays and speeches that Schreiner gave on the topic of women's rights and their role in society. The book examines the struggles and challenges faced by women in the workforce, including issues such as unequal pay, limited job opportunities, and discrimination. Schreiner argues that women have the right to work and contribute to society, and that their work should be valued and respected. She also explores the impact of motherhood and family responsibilities on women's ability to work outside the home. Throughout the book, Schreiner advocates for women's rights and calls for greater equality and recognition in the workplace. Woman and Labour is considered a landmark work in feminist literature, and remains relevant today in the ongoing fight for gender equality.In that clamour which has arisen in the modern world, where now this, and then that, is demanded for and by large bodies of modern women, he who listens carefully may detect as a keynote, beneath all the clamour, a demand which may be embodied in such a cry as this: Give us labour and the training which fits for labour! We demand this, not for ourselves alone, but for the race.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
