Woman And Labour

Woman and Labour is a non-fiction book written by Olive Schreiner, a South African author and feminist. The book was first published in 1911 and explores the role of women in society and the workforce. Schreiner argues that women are not given equal opportunities in the workforce and are often subjected to unfair treatment and discrimination. She also examines the impact of industrialization on women and their families, highlighting the negative effects of long working hours and poor working conditions. Schreiner advocates for women's rights and argues that they should have access to education and equal pay. The book is considered a landmark in feminist literature and has been influential in shaping the feminist movement.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.
