"What Eight Million Women Want" by Rheta Childe Dorr is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book explores the social, economic, and political status of women in America, reflecting on their increasing independence and collective desires as they push toward equality and self-fulfillment in a rapidly changing society. It addresses critical issues such as women’s suffrage, labor rights, and social service, highlighting the voices and needs of millions of women actively seeking to redefine their roles. The opening of the book introduces the author's intent to shed light on the common ideals and wants of women, which have often been overlooked and misinterpreted by society, particularly by men. Dorr sets the stage by sharing statistics about women's rising participation in the workforce, increasing divorce rates, and growing movements for suffrage and social reform. She argues against the traditionally held belief that women's desires are too varied and complex to understand, asserting instead that there is a unified and consistent demand for recognition and respect from both societal and legal institutions, framing the discussion as not just about women as individuals, but as a collective force seeking equality and justice.
