"Present-day capitalist society conceals within itself
numerous cases of poverty and oppression which do not
immediately strike the eye. At the best
of times, the
scattered families of poor townspeople, artisans, workers,
employees and petty officials live in incredible
difficulties, barely managing to make both ends meet. Millions
upon millions of women in such families live (or, rather,
exist) as “domestic slaves”, striving to feed and clothe
their family on pennies, at the cost of desperate daily
effort and “saving” on everything—except their own labour".
From
Capitalism and Female labour 1913 V.I. Lenin
