Author Description

Matilda Joslyn Gage's groundbreaking "Woman, Church & State: The Original Exposé of Male Against the Female Sex" remains a powerful and meticulously researched historical analysis of the subjugation of women. A vital contribution to feminist thought, this enduring work fearlessly examines the historical relationship between religious institutions, patriarchal structures, and the systematic denial of women's rights. Gage's incisive social criticism explores the ways in which religious dogma has been used to justify the oppression of women throughout history. Examining the intersection of religion, science, and history, "Woman, Church & State" presents a compelling argument for the liberation of women from societal constraints imposed by both church and state. Its unflinching exploration of these complex issues continues to resonate with anyone interested in the history of feminism and the ongoing struggle for gender equality.
