Reviews

[Romina · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is Eleanor Marx´s review of August Bebel´s Women and Socialism. Eleanor does not engage in a review of this opus book, but instead focuses on Bebel´s argument about being conscious of why some women who might wish to seek to divorce do not because of the economic and social repercussions connected to divorce. Eleanor agrees with Bebel on this question. Interesting side note, Eleanor Marx never married.
