The Woman Question in Europe: A Series of Original Essays - Cambridge Library Collection - Education

Theodore Stanton's intention in this 1884 work had been to get from each European country the collaboration of women who had participated in some phase of the women's movement. Among the contributors are many famous names in the struggle for women's rights at the end of the nineteenth century.


Marc Notes: The American journalist Theodore Stanton (1851-1925), son of leading feminist and suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, published this remarkable collection of essays in 1884. His intention had been to get from each European country 'the collaboration of one or more women, who ... had participated, either actively or in spirit, in some phase of the women's movement'. In 17 chapters, all but two written by women, the progress of 'the woman question' - the debate on the rights of women to financial independence, higher education and the franchise - across Europe and in the Ottoman empire is described, largely for an American and British readership.
