Abstract:
Friedrich Engels, in his book titled The Origin of the Family, Private Property
and the State, in the year 1884 stated, “The emancipation of woman will only be
possible when woman can take part in production on a large, social scale, and
domestic work no longer claims anything but an insignificant amount of her time”
(p.88). The social status and the rights of women have advanced commendably since
then and today we have reached the age of disruption, which is all about radical
change. Gender and Professions: International and Contemporary Perspectives is a
collection of research that explores how gender and professions interplay in this age
of disruption.
