Discussions around class and economic inequality are things that feminism does and should continue to contribute to. A positive impact on the lives of women of all classes can be achieved through the implementation of some of the core principles of feminism, which include equal opportunities regardless of gender. When properly applied, feminism has the potential to have the greatest impact on the lives of poor women. Economically disadvantaged women typically find themselves trapped in a situation that requires them to manage the heavy demands of family and career. This situation generally affects them more than their upper-class counterparts. Therefore, when it comes to the issue of economic inequality, she specifically attempts to highlight the almost impossible challenge of balancing work and domestic duties, which hinders the prospects of working-class women. Kollontai believes in the seemingly incompatible tasks that a working woman must sometimes perform, as she writes: “the factory siren calls the woman to work but her child worries and cries. How can she leave him? Who will take care of it? …She goes to work, but never stops worrying about the child” (131). With this statement, Kollontai presents one of the greatest dilemmas facing a working class mother, either working to provide for her child or staying at home to provide the care and attention that her child receives. This is especially true because, at least the current application of feminism thinking, seems to create another class of alienated women whenever a previous one appears. This indeed seems to be a vicious circle. However, one of the most fundamental and beloved principles of liberalism is the idea of ​​self-determination. Currently, many undervalued women around the world fall into the limited space of societal gender norms. As Mohanty writes, “the idea of ​​work as being necessary for the survival and psychic, material and spiritual development of working women is absent. Instead, it is women's identities as housewives, wives, and mothers…that is supposed to provide the basis for women's survival and growth” (22). So maybe what really needs to happen is a change in gender norms in general and the creation of new ones, or in an extreme case, the complete destruction of the idea of ​​gender norms. Thus, everyone, regardless of gender, would be expected to actively participate in the traditional maternal and paternal duties of caring at home and providing monetary funds for the family. This could help break the cycle where poor women fall into gender stereotypes.
