Woman under socialism
Woman under Socialism is the English version, translated by Daniel De Leon and published in 1904, of August Bebel's Die Frau und der Sozialismus, first issued in 1879 and revised many times. Bebel, a leader of German Social Democracy, surveys the position of women from early societies through the Christian era to his own day, then examines marriage, the obstacles to it, prostitution, women's work and intellect, and their legal and political status. He argues that the subjection of women is bound up with private property and will end only with the socialist reorganization of society, which he describes in the closing parts. The book was widely read in the socialist movement. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
