Abstract
This article focuses on the political activities of women within German Social Democracy and the Socialist Women's International. The leader of both organisations, Clara Zetkin, wrote texts that provided the theoretical foundations for the Marxist perspective on the ‘woman question’ and paved the way for the incorporation of working women into the proletarian struggle for socialism. Based on the proceedings and reports of the socialist women’s conferences, we reconstruct the main discussions and resolutions of these organisations until their dissolution in 1915, such as the relationship with bourgeois feminists, protective legislation for female workers, women's suffrage, and International Women’s Day.
