Die Frau und der Sozialismus

Published in 1879, 'Die Frau und der Sozialismus' (Woman and Socialism) provides a programmatic platform for the socialist women’s movement.

The book critically examines the social conditions and oppression faced by women, arguing that their subjugation is rooted in historical social structures rather than biology.

Bebel advocates for equal economic, social, and political rights for women and discusses the double oppression faced by women in capitalist society.

The book had a significant impact on working-class women and feminist organizing within the Social Democratic Party and other socialist organizations.

It also outlines a vision for women's equality in a future socialist society and analyzes gender dynamics, class struggles, and the need for a transformational social structure.
