Hypatia : $b or, Woman and knowledge

"Hypatia: or, Woman and Knowledge" by Dora Russell is a notable feminist work from the 1920s that uses the story of Hypatia, an ancient female scholar, to discuss women's rights and equality. Russell's writing looks at the problems women face in a world that often expects them to fit into traditional roles and questions the power structures that keep inequality alive. The book examines historical and modern ideas about feminism, showing how women are held back and how society resists their attempts to gain power, as well as critiquing men and women and calling for a new social contract between the sexes. She suggests a need for a partnership where outdated ideas about connection and morality give way to a society that understands and celebrates what everyone has in common.
