"Woman under Socialism" by August Bebel is a book that looks closely at the tough lives and unfair treatment of women, especially in societies run by capitalism. It says that freeing women is super important if we want everyone to be treated fairly. Bebel talks about this during a time when more and more people were supporting socialism. The text begins by posing the 'Woman Question,' questioning women's place in society and Bebel's support for equal rights and respect for women in society. The book looks at how women have been treated throughout history, explaining how things changed from times when women had more power to the male-dominated systems of his time. Bebel reasons that the working class should fight against capitalism, and women should join them to become truly equal.
