What does it mean to be a woman in a world structured by men? The Woman Question: Readings on the Subordination of Women is a landmark anthology that gathers seminal texts addressing one of the most enduring and provocative debates in modern intellectual history. Edited by Mary Evans, this collection presents a curated range of voices — from philosophers and sociologists to political theorists — that together map the historical, social, and psychological terrain of women's subordination across cultures and centuries. The selections illuminate how patriarchal structures have been constructed, legitimised, and perpetuated, offering the reader both a diagnostic account of inequality and the intellectual tools to challenge it. Evans brings scholarly rigour and feminist conviction to her editorial choices, assembling a text that sits at the intersection of political theory, sociology, and cultural critique. The Woman Question does not simply chronicle injustice — it argues, provokes, and unsettles, drawing on thinkers whose ideas remain urgently relevant. This is an indispensable volume for anyone seeking to understand the deep roots of gender inequality, and it leaves one wondering: if the question has been asked for so long, why does it remain so stubbornly unanswered?
