Working Class Women! Join the
Struggle of the Working Class!
Statement By the Central Executive Committee of
the Workers Party of America.


The capitalist exploiters make no distinction be-
tween men workers and women workers except to
exploit the latter more brutally and outrageously
Our enemies, the capitalists, are making splendid
use in their own interests of the weaknesses and
prejudices of those working class women who still
continue to stay away from the struggles of their
class against capitalist exploitation Now on this
International Women's Day, set aside by the Com
munist International day of special effort to
ganize the working women for the proletarian class
struggle, the Workers Communist Party of Amer
lea calls upon every woman of the working class to
join the struggle of the workers for the destruction
of capitalism thru the establishment of workers
and farmers government.
Women of the working class, your fate and the
fate ofuyour families is bound up inseparably with
the fate of the working class whole The vic
tories of the workers in their struggles against
capitalism are your victories The defeats of the
working class are your defeats. You are part and
parcel Of the world army of the proletarat OPP
pressed by capitalism and struggling for liberation
If you are employed in industry, you directly
affected by every manifestation of capitalist mis-
rule. If you are occupied at home, you feel the
bitter misery of capitalism just the same. You are
a worker, whether in the shop or at home, and you
have the interests as the rest of the working
class.
Do not listen to the sweet talk of capitalist ladies
about your special interests as women against men,
You have such interests opposed to the interests
Of men. Your only enemy is capitalism, which is
ruling the lives of every that is near and dear
to you. Your only grievance is the existing order
Of capitalist society, against which you must fight
shoulder to shoulder with the men workers under
the leadership of a revolutionary political working
class party.
Women of the working class, this Interna-
tiOnal Women's Day, the Workers Communist
Party of America calls upon you to consider your
situation and your duties
: Do you belong to a union? If you are employed
in industry, it is your duty to join the union. If
you are already member of a union YOU must
in your own interests, join the militant elements
in your union, the left wing for common struggle
against the reactionary labor bureaucracy and to
revolutionize the trade unions.
If you occupied at home as a housewife it
is your duty to organize intospecial unions ofwor
ing class housewives to bring relief and comfort to
those workers who engaged directly in strug
giles against the capitalists.
Whether in industry at home you must ac-
lively participate in the political struggles of the
working class. You must join and be an active
member of the Workers (COmmunist) Party of
America the party that stands for the abolition of
capitalism thru the establishment of a workers
and farmers government.
At this moment, the Workers (Communist) Par
ty is carrying on an energetic struggle against
child labor exploitation. This is a matter of vital
concern to every working class woman. You must
therefore join the ranks of our movement for a com
mon struggle against the common enemy.
