August Ferdinand Bebel (1840-1913) was a German social democrat and one of the founders of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. In 1872, Bebel was convicted in a political lawsuit, the so-called Leipziger Hochverratsprozess, and sentenced to two years in Festungshaft ("imprisonment in a fortress", a variant of a jail sentence that was not considered dishonouring), which he spent at the famous Konigstein Fortress. Later in his life, he acted as chairman of the SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany) and member of the Reichstag. Bebel's book, Women and Socialism was translated into English by Daniel De Leon of the Socialist Labor Party of America as Woman Under Socialism. It figured prominently in the Connolly-De Leon controversy after James Connolly, then a member of the SLP (Socialist Labor Party of America), denounced it as a "quasi-prurient" book that would repel potential recruits to the socialist movement.
