Clara Zetkin

Here is an essential collection of essays and speeches from 1889 to 1933, long unavailable in the United States, on women's equality, labor, peace and socialism. Zetkin broke new ground by exploring the intersections of gender and class. In these writings, she describes the political process that ultimately allowed for socialized reproduction–namely the establishment by the Soviet revolutionary government of communal kitchens, laundries and child care facilities.
