The Awakening of Woman

About this book

What would change if women were free to define their own intellectual, social and spiritual lives? Florence Guertin Tuttle writes from an era in which that question was moving from private argument into public action.

Her work approaches women's development through reformist ideas about education, independence and their place in modern civilisation. Some assumptions reflect the limits of her historical setting, but the urgency of the subject remains clear. The book offers another voice in the long conversation about who is allowed to grow, speak and shape the world around them.
