Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Woman's Dilemma' is a seminal sociological and feminist inquiry into the conflicts between female professional aspirations and traditional domestic roles. In this insightful work, Alice Beal Parsons addresses the central question of whether women must choose between their individual development and their biological roles as wives and mothers. The text meticulously examines the scientific and social arguments of the era regarding gender differences, debunking myths of innate female inferiority and advocating for a reorganization of the home and workplace to allow for true equality.Parsons explores the economic and social realities of the early twentieth century, providing a thorough analysis of how societal expectations shape the lives of women across various strata of society. By questioning the necessity of a woman's constant presence in the domestic sphere, she offers a forward-thinking vision for a future where labor and child-rearing are balanced with professional life. 'Woman's Dilemma' stands as a significant milestone in the history of feminist literature, capturing a pivotal moment in the struggle for women's autonomy. It remains an essential read for those interested in the historical roots of gender studies and the enduring challenges of work-life balance.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Zustand: Fine. Gelesene Ausgabe in hervorragendem Zustand mit minimalen Lesespuren.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. (oatmeal cloth; no dust jacket) [good solid book, minor shelfwear and a bit of soiling to covers and bottom edges, slight bumping/softening to the tips, old bookseller's rubber-stamp (Bertrand Smith's Book Store, Long Beach, California) on front pastedown]. Set in a (fictitious) small Illinois town, this novel was inspired by what the author, in a prefatory note, refers to as "a historical episode which marked an end of many things in American life" -- this being the first major "Red scare" in the U.S., that took place shortly after World War I. The plot concerns the title character, a society matron who turns to Socialism and begins championing the rights of workers; this naturally raises the ire of the community, in particular an organization called the Blackhawk County Committee for Patriotism and Defense, and she winds up being put on trial for sedition. Where the book really gets interesting is when Mrs. McLeod engages, as her defense counsel, none other than Clarence Darrow, who makes his first appearance about one-third of the way into the narrative. Although the author declares that "all the characters in the book except Darrow are fictitious," when it comes to its depiction of Darrow himself the book skirts close to factuality. A contemporary reviewer noted that the central situation "parallels some of the great lawyer's cases, but none in particular," while also observing that Darrow's "quotations are 'lifted' from [his] courtroom record, or paraphrased by [the author's] personal acquaintance with him." (As the author puts it, although she has invented all his dialogue, "the opinions he expresses in the book have been expressed by him in my hearing, and the words in which he expresses these opinions reproduce as nearly as possible his individual way of talking.") Mrs. Parsons, who over the course of her writing career turned out eight books, dozens of articles and stories, and scads of book reviews), had also been a social worker, and is known to have held feminist/liberal views. Although her direct connection with Darrow is unknown, she was an Illinois native and did graduate work at the University of Chicago, and (if we take her at her word) was at the very least in his orbit. As far as the factual basis for her novel's plot is concerned, it's worth noting that although her papers (held by Syracuse University) apparently contain no manuscript material related to this novel, they do contain a trial transcript for a 1920 court case, Illinois vs. Arthur Person, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the case against Mrs. McLeod. For starters, it involved a man who was accused of being a member of the Communist Labor Party and therefore (as defined by a particular Illinois statute) conspiring to overthrow the U.S. Government, and -- wait for it -- also had Clarence Darrow as his defense attorney. Quite a scarce book.…

Parsons, Wooroonook, Strathfield' (at the foot of the second-last page). Alice Mary Parsons was the wife of Frederick William Parsons (1852-1933), an Alderman on Strathfield Council from 1890 to 1914, and Mayor in 1895-97. 'Parsons lived at "Wooroonook" in Elwin St, Strathfield, where his wife . operated a girls day school also called "Wooroonook"' (Strathfield Heritage website).

First Edition. Parsons, Alice Beal [1886-1962]. [Darrow, Clarence (1857-1938)]. The Trial of Helen McLeod. New York: Funk & Wagnalls Co., 1938. 415 pp. Original cloth, light soiling and shelfwear to extremities, in moderately worn and soiled dust jacket with paper reinforcement and cellotape repairs to verso, clip to rear flap. Ex-library with property stamps to front pastedown, front free endpaper and rear flap, residue from jacket flaps to pastedowns, moderate toning, small faint stains to a few leaves to text, else good. $150. * First edition. Parsons began her career as a social worker in Chicago. Arrested during the Palmer Raids for supporting striking workers, she was accused along with six other defendants of conspiring to overthrow the government. Several of the defendants, most famously Arthur Persons, were defended by famed American attorney Clarence Darrow [1857-1938]. Parsons likely based The Trial of Helen McLeod, a novel which follows a society matron accused of conspiring to overthrow the government, on her experiences with Darrow. Darrow is a character in the novel, leaving Chicago for the fictional Dalton in order to defend McLeod.…
