"What practical conclusions may we now draw for our propaganda work among women? The task of this Party Congress must not be to issue detailed practical suggestions, but to draw up general directions for the proletarian women's movement."

Work

"The proletarian woman fights hand in hand with the man of her class against capitalist society."

Society

"For reforms ameliorate the situation of the working class, they lighten the weight of the chains labour is burdened with by capitalism, but they are not sufficient to crush capitalism and to emancipate the workers from their tyranny."

Competition

"The workers have nothing to gain from this war, but they stand to lose everything that is dear to them."

War

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

Life

Attitude

Woman

"Each reform, therefore, improving the economical and political situation of the workers proves to be an arm that increases the energy with which the proletarian struggle of classes is fought."
