From Eve to Dawn, a History of Women in the World, Volume III: Infernos and Paradises, the Triumph of Capitalism in the 19th Century
From the New York Times-bestselling author: "A rare find: a page-turning, can't-put-it-down history text." --Library Journal
Writing about what she calls the "most cheering period in female history," Marilyn French recounts how nineteenth-century women living under imperialism, industrialization, and capitalism nonetheless organized for their own education, a more equitable wage, and the vote.
Focusing on the United States, Great Britain, and countries in Africa, French argues that capitalism's success depended on the exploitation and enslavement of huge numbers, including women, but the act of working outside the home alongside other women, rather than in isolation, provided women with the possibility of organizing for emancipation.
"The third volume of her remarkable four-volume survey . . . fascinating insight and detail." --Publishers Weekly

--Publishers Weekly "[Marilyn French] still knows how to keep the pages turning."
--Time Out New York "Leaves the reader breathless. This richly researched volume paints memorable images and with passion and vision, shows us how a century that began with men claiming women as their property ended with women's demands for an end to their subjugation."
