Women and Economics

"Women and Economics" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a groundbreaking book that examines how societal structures and gender roles have historically limited women’s economic opportunities and independence. Gilman argues that women’s dependency on men and their designated domestic roles hinder both individual fulfillment and societal progress. She advocates for practical changes—like education, equal work opportunities, and shared domestic responsibilities—to create a more equitable and productive society. Essentially, the book encourages recognizing women as vital contributors to economics and social development, emphasizing that gender equality benefits everyone.
