Woman, Church & State

Woman, Church & State by Matilda Joslyn Gage is a classic feminist text that delves into the historical oppression of women by organized religion and the state. Gage, a prominent suffragist and women's rights advocate, meticulously uncovers the ways in which both institutions have colluded to subjugate women throughout history. She argues that the patriarchal structures of the church and the state have been used to justify and perpetuate gender inequality, denying women equal rights and opportunities. Gage's insightful analysis sheds light on the intersectionality of sexism and misogyny, highlighting the urgent need for gender equality in all spheres of society. This book remains a timeless and powerful manifesto for feminist activism and social change.
