About This Book
The work surveys the historical and social roots of women's oppression, linking it to private property, the family, and capitalist relations, and argues that political and economic emancipation require systemic change toward socialism. It analyzes marriage, prostitution, labor, education, reproductive biology, and legal status, exposing how economic dependence and social institutions sustain inequality. It proposes socialist reforms—economic independence, socialized domestic services, equal rights, and collective solutions for child care—to free women for full social participation. The tone combines historical overview, social critique, and programmatic proposals for transforming gender relations alongside broader social reorganization.
