Woman and War: From Woman and Labor (1911)

Woman and War: From Woman and Labor (1911) is a non-fiction book written by Olive Schreiner, a South African writer and feminist. The book explores the relationship between women and war, and how women are affected by war both directly and indirectly. Schreiner argues that women have historically been excluded from discussions and decisions about war, despite being heavily impacted by it. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the role of women in war throughout history, from ancient times to the present day. Schreiner discusses how women have been forced to take on new roles and responsibilities during times of war, often at great personal cost. The second part of the book focuses on the impact of war on women's health and well-being, including physical and psychological trauma. The third and final part of the book looks at the ways in which women have responded to war, including through activism and resistance.Overall, Woman and War: From Woman and Labor (1911) is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between women and war. Schreiner's insights and observations are still relevant today, making this book a valuable read for anyone interested in feminism, pacifism, or the impact of war on women.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
