Woman and Labour
About this book
Woman and Labour is Olive Schreiner's argument for women's access to meaningful work and economic independence, examining how industrialisation displaced women's traditional labour. It suits readers of early feminist thought, gender history, and the intellectual roots of the women's movement.
Olive Schreiner
Olive Schreiner was a South African author, anti-war campaigner and intellectual. She is best remembered today for her novel The Story of an African Farm (1883), which has been highly acclaimed. It deals boldly with such contemporary issues as agnosticism, existential independence, individualism, the professional aspirations of women, and the elemental nature of life on the colonial frontier.
