"Now We Can Begin": Whats Next? by Crystal Eastman

阅读 :
"now we can begin": what's next? most women will agree that august 23, the day when the tennessee legislature finally enacted the federal suffrage amendment, is a day to begin with, not a day to end with. men are saying perhaps "thank god, this everlasting woman's fight is over!" but women, if i know them, are saying, "now at last we can begin." in fighting for the right to vote most women have tried to be either non-committal or thoroughly respectable on every other subject. now they can say what they are really after; and what they are after, in common with all the rest of the struggling world, is freedom.

freedom is a large word.

many feminists are socialists, many are communists, not a few are active leaders in these movements. but the true feminist, no matter how far to the left she may be in the revolutionary movement, sees the woman's battle as distinct in its objects and different in its methods from the workers' battle for industrial freedom. she knows, of course, that the vast majority of women as well as men are without property, and are of necessity bread and butter slaves under a system of society which allows the very sources of life to be privately owned by a few, and she counts herself a loyal soldier in the working-class army that is marching to overthrow that system. but as a feminist she also knows that the whole of woman's slavery is not summed up in the profit system, nor her complete emancipation assured by the downfall of capitalism.
