At the height of the Victorian period, they insisted their sex deserved full political equality, called for a new kind of marriage based on companionship, claimed the right to divorce and to get custody of their children, and argued that an unjust economic system forced women into poorly paid jobs. They rejected the traditional view that women's subordination was preordained, natural, and universal. In restoring these daring activists' achievements to history, \u003cem\u003eJoyous Greetings\u003c\/em\u003e passes on their inspiring and empowering message to today's new generation of feminists.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022939635952,"sku":"9780195143973","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780195143973_p0.jpg?v=1763663771","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780195143973","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
