"Our Changing Morality: A Symposium" edited by Freda Kirchwey is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. This work explores the evolving standards and complexities of morality, particularly in relation to sex and gender roles in the context of societal change. The authors delve into the chaos surrounding traditional moral codes, highlighting how modern relationships, especially those involving women, are undergoing significant transformations amidst shifting expectations. The opening of this symposium presents an introduction by Freda Kirchwey, which discusses the current struggle to reconcile traditional moral values with the emerging complexities in human relationships, primarily concerning sexuality and gender dynamics. Kirchwey argues that past strictures are being challenged as society grapples with newfound freedoms that women are experiencing. She observes a chaotic moral landscape marked by conflicting beliefs about sex, calling for a deeper understanding and examination of contemporary behaviors rather than blind adherence to outdated doctrines. The text sets the stage for various authors to contribute their insights on modern marriage, changing ethics, and evolving gender roles, thus framing a multifaceted discussion about morality in a rapidly changing world.
