Foundations of Feminism

By Avrom Barnett

Foundations of Feminism by Avrom Barnett offers a critical and scholarly examination of the early 20th-century women's movement by scrutinizing its biological, psychological, and sociological underpinnings. Barnett challenges the "scientific" generalizations of contemporary Feminist thought-specifically examining theories of sex determination, Darwinian sexual selection, and the role of internal secretions-to separate rigorous logic from ideological rhetoric. The work further explores the "labor and motherhood" problem, analyzing the impact of industrialization and domesticity on the female physique and social standing, providing a landmark intellectual history for researchers of gender studies and social evolution.
