Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was an ardent feminist and outspoken champion of women's rights. In this profoundly insightful and cogently argued work, Gilman describes how the social and sexual disparities between men and women, long thought to be preordained and unchanging, are actually the result of economics. The position of women as the property of men, their inability to earn in proportion to the amount of work they do, and the very devaluation of their work, all tend to the exaggerated social differences between men as "providers" and "competitors" and women as "helpless" and "unproductive." These differences lead to social dysfunction and ultimately to the destruction of the bond that ought to exist between and unite the sexes. Gilman's classic plea for greater parity for men and women still speaks directly to the problems women continue to face in the workplace as well as to the ways men view women.

Women and Economics: A Study of the Economic Relation between Women and Men
At the time of its publication, the London Chronicle had this to say about Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Women and Economics: "Since John Stuart Mill's essay there has been no book dealing with the whole position of women to approach it in originality of conception and brilliancy of exposition."
Published in 1898, this is a public domain book, although not transcribed by Project Gutenberg as yet. I found copies here:
University of Pennsylvania "A Celebration of Women Writers" Project - entire text on one webpage; it appears to be intact but I've only proofread a small portion
University of California Press E-Books Collection - entire text divided into framed web pages by chapter; it appears to be intact but I've only proofread a small portion
American Libraries Internet Archive - many ebook formats of a Google scan of the book that appears to be converted to text by software; it contains numerous artifacts and errors making it sometimes difficult to read
Review to come, when I read it, probably 2016...
