Modern Woman: Her Intentions

A thought-provoking treatise written in the early 20th century. This book acts as a critical examination of women's roles, rights, and aspirations during a time when social and political changes were rapidly unfolding. It addresses the need for women's suffrage and economic independence while critiquing the existing societal structures that continue to oppress women. The book delves into various themes, including the suffrage movement, women's income, the complexities of love, marriage, and divorce, and the economic dependence of women on men. Farr emphasizes the importance of women awakening from their suppressed states to claim their rightful positions in society. Through her discussions, she articulates the psychological and emotional dimensions of female experiences, advocating for independence and reform in social practices surrounding love and marriage. The work serves both as an urgent call to action for women's rights and a broader reflection on the implications of this awakening for societal evolution.
