The Morality Of Woman And Other Essays (1911)

The Morality of Woman and Other Essays is a collection of essays written by Ellen Key, a Swedish feminist and writer, and published in 1911. The book is a reflection on the role of women in society and their moral and intellectual capabilities. Key argues that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men and that their contributions to society should be recognized and valued. The essays cover a range of topics, including education, marriage, motherhood, and sexuality. Key argues that women should be educated and given the opportunity to pursue their passions and interests, rather than being confined to traditional gender roles. She also criticizes the institution of marriage and the way it often restricts women's freedom and autonomy. In addition to her feminist views, Key also explores broader philosophical and moral questions in the book. She argues that morality should be based on reason and compassion rather than religious doctrine, and that individuals should be free to pursue their own happiness as long as they do not harm others. Overall, The Morality of Woman and Other Essays is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to be relevant to contemporary debates about gender, morality, and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
