Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels argued in "The Communist Manifesto" that the rise of capitalism widened the gap between the power and value of men and women. In their view, as production moved out of the home and into factories, the gendered division of labor left men with the greater share of economic and other forms of power. Durkheim and Weber also contributed to sociological thought, but did not specifically focus on the gendered impact of capitalism in the same way that Marx and Engels did.
