This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
In "Women and Economics," Charlotte Perkins Gilman argues that economic dependence hinders women's individual and societal development. She likens women's reliance on men to paying a "sex-debt" through housework, hindering true partnership in marriage and motherhood. Gilman calls for women's economic independence and professional specialization, believing it will improve marriage, family life, and society as a whole. While some of her views, like communal childcare, were radical for the time, her central message of economic equality as a path to women's liberation continues to resonate today.
