Sisters or Citizens?: Women and Socialism in France since 1876
Charles Sowerwine
A century ago, just as today, working women faced oppression both as women and as workers. On which front would they fight?

But by the end of the nineteenth century, most politically minded working women rejected feminism, which seemed to them a movement for middle-class women.
