Nothing opened more economic opportunity for women than the general
prosperity and abundance generated by the Industrial Revolution.
To put it politely: these are, at best, unsubstantiated allegations.

To use the legacy of Voltairine de Cleyre to promote market capitalism is
highly disengenuous. She was class conscious and worked for the overthrow
of capitalism and the state. True, she was influenced by Tucker and the
individualists early in her political development. She was drawn to the
anti-authoritarianism and strong emphasis on personal liberty. She
contributed articles to Liberty and other publications of individualists.
But she soon became critical of their acceptance of private property and
their lack of class consciousness.
