Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. In this important early feminist text, Marion Reid describes the 'system of depression' which excluded women from real education and pushed women workers into the worst jobs. She argues that women can only change legal discrimination with the right to vote and select those who make laws. The duty of women choosing domestic life is not to 'cringe and fawn for the sake of peace' but to develop the whole of their nature; women's skills in the home are as good a qualification for civil rights as the work done by most men. Claims that women's advancement is a threat to society or against Bible teachings are unfounded. Women must become conscious of the numbing effects of constant denigration and realise that development of their intellect and social responsibility is in the interest of humanity as a whole. Read by women in Britain, Ireland and the USA when first published, A Plea for Woman is back in print after 150 years.
