The relevance of this specific work by Kolontai lies in its enlightening usefulness regarding the class substance and historicality of women's social position, primarily concerning their position in social labor and, as a derivative, their position in the family - based on their specific role in human reproduction - and their relationship with the opposite sex, generally the relationships between the two genders. Its value lies in its popularizing power, which was indeed its purpose. That is why the foundation was oral lectures and not a written essay.
A significant work for working-class women, popular inclusion or origin, the new woman, even a student, but also for women fighters of the popular movement.
