Description
The Monopoly of Man by Anna Kuliscioff In this influential work, Anna Kuliscioff argues that feminism and labor are inextricably linked. Delivering her famous 1890 lecture to the Milan Philological Circle, Kuliscioff challenges the notion that women's roles are limited to the home, instead advocating for equal pay for equal work and economic independence. Kuliscioff sees marriage as a form of women's servitude, while motherhood is undervalued as work. She believes that labor frees women from domestic bondage and can foster their emancipation. By resisting capitalism and demanding respect, Kuliscioff argues, women can achieve freedom, dignity, and equality. Published in 2021, this edition of The Monopoly of Man remains a powerful call to action for social change.
