Engels' Thought of Female Emancipation and Contemporary Value——Based on the Text Interpretation of The Origin of the Family,Private Ownership and the State
The Origin of Family,Private Property and State is Engels's classic work on the issue of women's liberation.The female thought in the Origin has a profound guiding significance to the cause of women's liber-ation today.Starting with the evolution of social and family forms,Engels analyzed the changes of women's so-cial status and revealed that the root cause of the decline of women's status was the emergence of social division of labor and private ownership,and proposed to realize women's liberation by eliminating private ownership,al-lowing women to return to public undertakings and relying on modern large-scale industry to promote the so-cialization of household work.In the face of the current imbalance and inadequacy of the cause of women's lib-eration in our country,we should take Engels'thought of women's liberation as a starting point,and work togeth-er to improve women's social status from the perspectives of promoting coordinated economic development,giv-ing full play to women's important role in social production,and exploring possible paths for the socialization of housework.
