"Woman: Man's Equal" by Rev. Thomas Webster is a socio-religious discourse written in the late 19th century, specifically during the year 1873. This work argues for women's equality with men, challenging traditional views that have relegated women to subordinate roles based on outdated interpretations of both nature and scripture. The text examines historical injustices faced by women and advocates for their rights and capabilities in various spheres of life including education, profession, and citizenship. The opening of the volume sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of women's rights, beginning with a focus on "Natural Rights." It posits that any perceived inferiority of women is not a natural condition but rather a result of systematic societal oppression. The author discusses the coexistence of men and women as equals at creation and highlights the importance of granting women the same opportunities and responsibilities as men in professional and public life. Webster aims to dismantle long-standing prejudices, urging readers to consider the real competencies and achievements of women throughout history, thereby establishing a voice for their rights in contemporary society.
