Book Synopsis Marriage as a Trade by : Cicely Hamilton

Download or read book Marriage as a Trade written by Cicely Hamilton. This book was released on 2015-06-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marriage as a Trade The only excuse for this book is the lack of books on the subject with which it deals - the trade aspect of marriage. That is to say, wife-hood and motherhood considered as a means of livelihood for women. I shall not deny for an instant that there are aspects of matrimony other than the trade aspect; but upon these there is no lack of a very plentiful literature - the love of man and woman has been written about since humanity acquired the art of writing. The love of man and woman is, no doubt, a thing of infinite importance; but also of infinite importance is the manner in which woman earns her bread and the economic conditions under which she enters the family and propagates the race.
