Published in 1900, the book explores the topic of child-rearing and education from a feminist perspective.In the book, Gilman argues that traditional ideas about childhood and parenting are limiting and harmful to children, particularly girls. She advocates for a more progressive approach to child-rearing that emphasizes the importance of education, independence, and socialization.Gilman also critiques the gender roles and expectations that are imposed on children from a young age, arguing that they perpetuate inequality and limit individual potential. She advocates for a more egalitarian society in which children are free to pursue their interests and talents without being constrained by gender norms.Throughout the book, Gilman draws on her own experiences as a mother and educator, as well as her extensive research on the topic. She provides practical advice on how parents and educators can create a more progressive and empowering environment for children, and offers insights into the psychological and social development of children.Overall, Concerning Children is a pioneering work in the field of feminist child-rearing and education, and remains relevant and influential to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
