The Business of Being a Woman
Ida M. Tarbell
Book Overview:
How were women's roles changing in the 1900's? Ida Tarbell explores this in a well written, witty and insightful series of essays. "The object of this little volume is to call attention to a certain distrust, which the author feels in the modern woman, of the significance and dignity of the work laid upon her by Nature and by society. Its ideas are the result of a long, if somewhat desultory, observation of the professional, political, and domestic activities of women in this country and in France. These observations have led to certain definite opinions as to those phases of the woman question most in need of emphasis to-day." This book contains, as a footnote, a Declaration of Sentiments which begins 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal...' and continues on. A wonderful declaration of the equality of the sexes in many things. This will be a separate section of this project since I think it is excellent in style and sentiment

I found some thoughtful quotes. Being someone who works in sustainable fashion, I did enjoy the chapter about clothing and “why” women spend money on
I stumbled across this book by chance not knowing what it was about nor anything about the author. At the start I was generally surprised as it felt like a feminist book, with some misguided misogyny, but still earnest in the wish for more women’s rights. The further I got, however, the more the boo
I definitely don't agree with everything mentioned in this book, but it brings up some good points. It gives dignity to wives who become mothers and manage their homes well. We learn how men and women can be equal even though they are different and have very different strengths and weaknesses. It al
