Liberty, Equality, Fraternity
15
From the foregoing, then, it will be seen that conditions of life are much worse for women than for men; that women have far to travel before they arrive at a condition of equality with men; that women are trebly bound—economically, to the capitalist, sexually, to the man, and spiritually, to wrong ideas of life; ideas which are a degradation to themselves and a disaster to their children.
Far below the lowest working-man is the woman. But Socialism will bring liberty to both, a double portion of liberty to her; and the two, set free, shall show to the world what it has never yet dreamt of, of what human nature is capable when it dwells in the warmth and sunlight of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.
