Irresponsible Philanthropists: Being Some Chapters On The Employment Of Gentlewomen is a book written by E. Genna and originally published in 1881. The book is a critical examination of the role of wealthy women in philanthropy, particularly in the employment of other women. Genna argues that many of these gentlewomen are well-meaning but ultimately irresponsible in their charitable efforts, often employing women in poorly paid and exploitative positions without fully considering the consequences. The book provides a detailed analysis of the various ways in which women were employed in the late 19th century, including as governesses, companions, and domestic servants. Genna also explores the larger societal issues at play, including the limited opportunities available to women and the class divides that often separated philanthropists from those they sought to help. Despite being written over a century ago, Irresponsible Philanthropists remains a relevant and thought-provoking critique of the intersection of wealth, gender, and social responsibility.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
