About One century ago, the progressives including the liberalist and socialist argued that the next century would be the Women’s Era. This argument was based on the perception that women have the properties which would generate human evolution and social progress. The concept that women would play an essential part of human evolution and social progress, came into mind in the background of transition from 19th to 20th Century. The crisis of ‘laissez-faire’ which had favored the value such as selfishness, competition, was equated with the crisis of capitalism resulting from economic depression. The value such as selfishness, competition was also equated with men’s properties in Victorian Era. Thus the failure of ‘laissez-faire’ implied the failure of men’s properties. Since then the spirit of the times had changed in the direction of collectivism emphasizing sociality, corporation, altruism. In this atmosphere people paid attention to the women’s social role who possessed these moral properties.
In these context socialist feminist Eliza Burt Gamble theorized about the role of woman in the social progress by reconstruction of the history of human evolution. First, she tried to ‘rewrite’ the evolution theory and she criticized hegemonic dogma of woman’s inferiority to man. And she tried to prove the woman’s superiority to man. Second, she criticized the male bias of evolution theory and anthropology. And then she reconstructed the history of human evolution based on the concept of ‘female selection’. In the perspective of Gamble, although woman embodied the value of future, woman did not exert her social value because of suppression of capitalism. As a corollary, women’s liberation had gained more universal implication not confining to the women but influencing all human beings. The emancipation of women did take a key position in social transformation because if women would liberate then the men and all human who embodied old social values would liberate together.
