Status Updates From Economica: A Global History...

Hm. As firstperson and official accounts become more available the premise that societal progress is determined mostly by women’s economic freedom gets a bit weaker. More often women seem like passive participants in labor than agents of progress (or stagnation). That might be because we’re talking extent empires, though—ie, we can’t say society collapsed because of misogyny if the society’s still around…

Ok this is seriously impressive in scope but is also seriously encroaching on too damn long. I don’t think I want to heat the phrase “Anditwasall. Thanks. To. WIMMIN.” Ever again.

She’s making a strong case for tying the fall of every empire to the subjugation of women’s full economic participation!
