Woman and Labour by Olive Schreiner is a thought-provoking examination of the role of women in society and the struggles they face as they navigate the responsibilities of work and family. Schreiner eloquently argues that women's labor, both inside and outside the home, is undervalued and often goes unrecognized.

Through personal anecdotes and historical examples, Schreiner paints a vivid picture of the challenges faced by women throughout history and the ways in which society has failed to recognize their contributions. She makes a compelling case for the need to rethink traditional gender roles and create a more equitable society where women are given the respect and support they deserve.

While the book was written over a century ago, its messages about gender equality and the importance of recognizing women's labor are still relevant today. Schreiner's powerful prose and impassioned arguments make Woman and Labour a must-read for anyone interested in the ongoing struggle for gender equality.

Book Description:
I should like to say to the men and women of the generations which will come after us—“You will look back at us with astonishment! You will wonder at passionate struggles that accomplished so little; at the, to you, obvious paths to attain our ends which we did not take; at the intolerable evils before which it will seem to you we sat down passive; at the great truths staring us in the face, which we failed to see; at the truths we grasped at, but could never quite get our fingers round. You will marvel at the labour that ended in so little—but, what you will never know is how it was thinking of you and for you, that we struggled as we did and accomplished the little which we have done; that it was in the thought of your larger realisation and fuller life, that we found consolation for the futilities of our own.”
