Clara Zetkin

What made women's labour particularly attractive to the capitalists was not only its lower price but also the greater submissiveness of women.

When the men kill, it is up to us women to fight for the preservation of life.

When a battle for suffrage is conducted, it should only be conducted according to socialist principles, and therefore with the demand of universal suffrage for women and men.

All women, whatever be their position, should demand political equality as a means of a freer life, and one calculated to yield rich blessings to society.

In individual industries where female labour pays an important role, any movement advocating better wages, shorter working hours, etc., would not be doomed from the start because of the attitude of those women workers who are not organized.
