First sentence: To a turn-of-the-century Marxist like Theresa Malkiel, it was a truism that the modern struggle for women's liberation was born of the same economic developments that produced the class struggle: as women began to work outside the home, they learned to resent their condition of domestic servitude and to demand the same rights as the men of their class.
