Women's propaganda must touch...

Women's propaganda must touch upon all those questions which are of great importance to the general proletarian movement. The main task is, indeed, to awaken the women's class consciousness and to incorporate them into the class struggle.

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

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

The proletarian woman fights ...

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

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

The bourgeois woman not only ...

The bourgeois woman not only demands her own bread, but she also requests spiritual nourishment and wants to develop her individuality.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

The capitalists speculate on ...

The capitalists speculate on the two following factors: the female worker must be paid as poorly as possible and the competition of female labour must be employed to lower the wages of male workers as much as possible.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

It is out of the question tha...

It is out of the question that the task of socialist women's activity should be to alienate proletarian women from duties as wives and mothers; on the contrary, it must operate so this task is fulfilled better than before, precisely in the interests of the proletariat.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

The workers have nothing to gain from this war, but they stand to lose everything that is dear to them.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

Bourgeois society is not fund...

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.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

The machines, the modern mode...

The machines, the modern mode of production, slowly undermined domestic production and not just for thousands but for millions of women the question arose: Where do we now find our livelihood?

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

What practical conclusions may we now draw for our propaganda work among women? The task of this Party Congress must not be to issue detailed practical suggestions, but to draw up general directions for the proletarian women's movement.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

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.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

All women, whatever be their ...

All women, whatever be their position, should demand political equality as a means of a freer life, and one calculated to yield rich blessings to society.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

When we demand Woman Suffrage...

When we demand Woman Suffrage, we can only do so on the ground, not that it should be a right attached to the possession of a certain amount of property, but that it should be inherent in the woman herself.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

What made women's labour part...

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

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

In the women's world, as well...

In the women's world, as well as in the men's world, there exists the class law and the class struggle, and it appears as fully established that sometimes between the socialist working women and those belonging to the middle class, there may be antagonisms.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

For reforms ameliorate the si...

For reforms ameliorate the situation of the working class, they lighten the weight of the chains labour is burdened with by capitalism, but they are not sufficient to crush capitalism and to emancipate the workers from their tyranny.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

When a battle for suffrage is...

When a battle for suffrage is conducted, it should only be conducted according to socialist principles, and therefore with the demand of universal suffrage for women and men.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

What made women's labour part...

What made women's labour particularly attractive to the capitalists was not only its lower price but also the greater submissiveness of women. The capitalists speculate on the two following factors: the female worker must be paid as poorly as possible and the competition of female labour must be employed to lower the wages of male workers as much as possible. In the same manner the capitalists use child labour to depress women's wages and the work of machines to depress all human labour.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

The socialist parties of all ...

The socialist parties of all countries are duty bound to fight energetically for the implementation of universal women's suffrage which is to be vigorously advocated both by agitation and by parliamentary means. When a battle for suffrage is conducted, it should only be conducted according to socialist principles, and therefore with the demand of universal suffrage for women and men.

Klara Zetkin 19 quotes

Women's propaganda must touch upon all those questions which are of great importance to the general proletarian movement. The main task is, indeed, to awaken the women's class consciousness and to incorporate them into the class struggle.
