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.
