'The chief thing is to get women to take part in socially productive
labor, to liberate them from "domestic slavery", to free them from their
stupefying and humiliating subjugation to the eternal drudgery of the
kitchen and the nursery. This struggle will be a long one, and it
demands a radical reconstruction, both of social technique and of
morale. But it will end on the complete triumph of communism."
V.I. Lenin
International Working Women's Day Speech, 1920
