Klara Zetkin on Feminism

Klara Zetkin on Feminism

Feminism, in essence, remains non-revolutionary, and often even counter-revolutionary. The aspirations of feminism are limited to struggle with the men’s privileges and somewhat improving the position of women – in fact, women of the bourgeois class – without changing the class nature of bourgeois society. Working women can be misled by feminism and distracted from the class struggle of the proletariat.
