Abstract:
Mona Caird was a British novelist & early radical feminist social critic who insisted on maintaining her independence after marrying. Her 1888 article 'Marriage', in which she criticised marriage for limiting & subordinating women and called for equality between partners, sparked a furious controversy, & brought her widespread recognition. This volume contains a collection of Caird's feminist essays. She analyses the indignities marriage caused for women, both historically & contemporaneously, & advocates both equality in marriage & women's economic independence. Caird also examines & criticises contemporary ideals of motherhood, discussing legislation & changes in social attitudes which would improve the lives of mothers. This volume presents a detailed account of controversial late-Victorian radical feminist views & criticisms.
