The Fraud of Feminism, penned by Ernest Belfort Bax in 1913, presents a controversial critique of early feminist movements. Bax, a prominent socialist and writer, argues that feminism, particularly as it emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, does not seek genuine equality but instead perpetuates the existing bourgeois social order. He posits that women’s liberation should focus on broader social and economic changes rather than merely seeking the same rights and privileges as men within a flawed system. His analysis challenges the notion that women’s suffrage and professional opportunities are sufficient for true emancipation. Instead, he advocates for collective efforts that address the root causes of oppression affecting both genders. While Bax's views reflect the context of his time, the text invites readers to critically examine the goals of feminist movements and their implications for societal change. This book remains a thought-provoking read for those interested in the intersections of gender, class, and economic justice.
