The Opening Speech of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE): 

Capitalism has nothing to offer working women except exploitation, oppression and poverty

The Secretariat of the European Communist Initiative (ECI) sends warm greetings to all the working women. The Secretariat wishes all women good health and strength in the coming struggles.

Marx and Engels were already studying the social situation of working women under capitalism. They focused on the exploitation of wage labour but also on additional forms of inequality and oppression, exclusion and discrimination in a number of aspects of social life, such as legislation, family and interpersonal relations.
