Summary "Social-Democracy and Woman Suffrage" by Klara Zetkin is a political paper presented during the early 20th century. This book acts as a significant discourse on the intersection of socialism and women's rights, primarily focusing on the argument for female suffrage as a social necessity rather than a mere right. Written in the context of burgeoning labor movements and women's growing roles in the workforce, the document illustrates the urgency of addressing women's suffrage within political agendas. In "Social-Democracy and Woman Suffrage," Zetkin argues that the demand for woman suffrage is rooted not in abstract ideals of natural rights, but instead in the concrete socio-economic realities shaped by capitalism. She differentiates between working-class women's needs and those of middle-class women, expressing that the former group requires suffrage as an essential tool for their empowerment and liberation. Zetkin emphasizes the importance of universal, equal, and direct suffrage for women, positing that this inclusion is crucial for the advancement of broader socialist goals and the dismantling of class structures. Ultimately, she encourages women to embrace their role in the proletariat struggle, asserting that their political participation is vital for achieving social justice and equality.
