Engels wrote The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State in just two months beginning toward the end of March 1884 and completing it by the end.


Rather, it emerged historically with the production of a surplus and the division of society into classes. Using the method of historical materialism, Engels also demonstrates that the oppression of women has not always existed, and is not the product of inherent traits.

First published in 1884, The Origin of the Family is one of the most important works of Marxist theory.
