Marriage as a Trade by Cicely Hamilton is a seminal work from the early 20th century that explores the institution of marriage from a feminist perspective. Published in 1909, the book critiques the societal and economic pressures that compel women into marriage, arguing that it often serves as a transactional arrangement rather than a romantic union. Hamilton, a playwright and suffragist, uses sharp wit and incisive commentary to highlight the lack of autonomy and opportunities available to women, likening marriage to a form of employment where women exchange their freedom for financial security. The book calls for greater independence and self-sufficiency for women, advocating for reforms that would allow them to pursue careers and lives outside the confines of traditional marriage. Marriage as a Trade remains a thought-provoking read, shedding light on the historical challenges faced by women and continuing to inspire discussions on gender roles and equality. Read more
