The all-round development of women is not only the common expectation of women,but also an important symbol of social civilization and progress.For a long time,problems such as harsh employment environment,heavy housework and domestic violence have caused troubles to women’s lives and hindered their personal development."The Origin of the Family,Private Property and the State" is the work of Engels in his later years.Its discourse on women’s issues is relatively scattered,but it is an important document for the study of Marxist women’s liberation theory.Engels expounded the complete connotation of the "two kinds of production" theory in "The Origin of the Family,Private Property and the State",which contains the method of studying women’s issues,and helps us discover the reasons for women’s oppression and the production path of women’s liberation.The theory of "two kinds of production" is based on the historical materialism.After Engels’ in-depth exploration,it was finally fully discussed in "The Origin of the Family,Private Property and the State".It proves that historical materialism is not "dualism",let alone "economic determinism".In the final analysis,the "production of material materials" in the two kinds of production determines the change of women’s status and the way of women’s liberation,but the "production of human beings themselves" must not be ignored.Only by unifying and coordinating the two aspects of the two kinds of production,conducting scientific analysis and rational application,can women’s emancipation and the comprehensive and free development of human beings be realized.In "The Origin of the Family,Private Property and the State",Engels used the "two kinds of production" theory to analyze how women fell from a respected position to an oppressed weak.The evolution of the family system,consanguinity,and marriage system has continuously placed women with the burden of housework and human reproduction,and women are out of touch with society and become "slaves" of the family;"class oppression takes precedence over gender oppression",and class The difference can be concluded that the root cause of women’s oppression is the private ownership of class society;the establishment of class state legitimizes the oppression of women by private ownership,and the class state is only to create more capital and maintain class rule.On the basis of clarifying how women are oppressed,"The Origin of the Family,Private Property and the State" also reveals how women can be liberated.Engels advocated the socialization of housework;women’s emancipation should first enable women to gain economic independence and participate in social labor,not just confined to the family;the demise of the class state can not only liberate women,but also liberate human beings.Women’s liberation is a worldwide issue,and women in China and around the world are working hard for the suggestion of women’s emancipation.The Marxist theory of women’s liberation let us realize that women’s liberation comes down to the liberation of human beings,and women’s call for equality is also the vision of human equality.
