Produktbeschreibung
Woman under socialism presents a scientific and political investigation into the systemic oppression of women within capitalist society and argues that true gender equality can only be achieved through a complete transformation of social relations. Written in the late 19th century, the work draws on historical, economic, and sociological evidence to frame women's subordination not as a biological inevitability but as a consequence of historical developments tied to property and class. The author begins by identifying the so-called woman question as a pressing issue inseparable from the broader struggle of the proletariat. He refutes the idea that women s inferior status is rooted in nature, instead tracing its origins to the rise of patriarchy and private property. Early chapters explore the evolution of social roles from egalitarian and communal arrangements to male-dominated family and legal systems. He asserts that women's emancipation cannot be achieved through isolated reform but must be pursued alongside the working class s fight against economic exploitation. By tying women s liberation to the success of socialism, the text positions itself as both a call to action and a detailed guide for societal reorganization. It remains a foundational argument for the intersection of class and gender emancipation.
Autorenporträt
Ferdinand August Bebel was a German socialist activist and politician, recognized as one of the principal founders of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. Born in 1840 in Deutz, Cologne, Bebel trained as a woodworker before turning to politics. In 1866, he co-founded the Saxon People's Party alongside Wilhelm Liebknecht. His political career was marked by a commitment to socialist ideals, and he became a key figure in advocating for workers' rights and gender equality. Bebel was a staunch critic of the capitalist system and played a vital role in shaping the early socialist movement in Germany. He was married to Julie Bebel from 1866 until her death in 1910, and they had a daughter, Bertha Friederike Bebel. Throughout his life, Bebel's work focused on challenging societal norms, including his influential work "Woman under Socialism," which examined the oppression of women. He passed away in 1913 in Passugg, Churwalden, Switzerland, at the age of 73. His parents were Johann Gottlob Bebel and Wilhelmine Johanna Bebel.
