Marriage As A Trade (1909)

Marriage As A Trade is a book written by Cicely Mary Hamilton and published in 1909. The book is a feminist critique of the institution of marriage, arguing that it has become a commercial transaction rather than a union based on love and mutual respect. Hamilton examines the role of women in society and how marriage has been used as a means of controlling and subjugating them. She also discusses the economic factors that influence marriage, such as dowries and inheritance laws. The book is considered a landmark in feminist literature and helped to spark a broader discussion about women's rights and the institution of marriage. Hamilton's arguments are still relevant today and the book continues to be studied and discussed by scholars and activists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
