This is an essential collection of essays and speeches of Clara Zetkin. Covering the years from 1889 to 1933, they deal with issues such as women's equality, labour, 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.
