Bourgeois society is not fundamentally opposed to the bourgeois women's movement, which is proven by the fact that in various states reforms of private and public laws concerning women have been initiated.

Each reform, therefore, improving the economical and political situation of the workers proves to be an arm that increases the energy with which the proletarian struggle of classes is fought.

When the men are silent, it is our duty to raise our voices in behalf of our ideals.

We would, however, perform an injustice to the bourgeois women's rights movement if we would regard it as solely motivated by economics. No, this movement also contains a more profound spiritual and moral aspect.

When the men kill, it is up to us women to fight for the preservation of life.

The proletarian woman fights hand in hand with the man of her class against capitalist society.

What made women's labour particularly attractive to the capitalists was not only its lower price but also the greater submissiveness of women.
