Business of Being a Woman

In the early 1900s, womens roles were evolving, and Ida Tarbell brilliantly captures this transformation in her engaging series of essays. She highlights a growing unease among modern women regarding the significance and dignity of their roles as defined by both Nature and society. Drawing from her extensive observations of womens professional, political, and domestic lives in the United States and France, Tarbell presents compelling insights into the most pressing aspects of the woman question today. This book also includes a powerful footnote featuring the Declaration of Sentiments, which famously proclaims, We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal... A remarkable affirmation of gender equality, this declaration will be explored in a dedicated section of the project, showcasing its eloquence and profound message.
