Summary "The Business of Being a Woman" by Ida M. Tarbell is a sociocultural commentary published in the early 20th century. This work examines the changing roles and perceptions of women in society, focusing on how these shifts affect their identities and life choices. Tarbell scrutinizes the uneasy feelings of modern women and challenges the notion that the business of being a woman is inherently less significant than that of being a man. The opening portion delves into the character of the "Uneasy Woman," a figure representative of the American female experience in the period following women's emancipation. Tarbell reflects on her restlessness and dissatisfaction despite newfound freedoms, arguing that the fulfillment of being a woman revolves around the roles of domesticity and motherhood, often frustrated by societal expectations and the quest for equality. She offers insights into the struggles women face in balancing societal duties with personal aspirations, and critiques both men and women for their roles in perpetuating a system that undervalues women's work.
