The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism is a non-fiction book written by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw. The book employs socialist and Marxist thought. It was written in 1928, and later re-released as the first Pelican Book in 1937. The dust jacket artwork for the English and American first editions was by British artist and sculptor Eric Kennington. Shaw examines various socialist ideas, including the issue of private property under socialism, population control, the difficulty creating of non-market-based means to ascribe value to human activities, and the problem of wealth distribution. He explores Marxist concepts such as surplus value along with the ideas of non-Marxist socialist thinkers such as Henry George.[1] The book inspired a respectful and detailed reply from Lilian Le Mesurier in The Socialist Woman's Guide to Intelligence: a reply to Mr. Shaw first published in 1929. Le Mesurier objected to Shaw's self-satisfied and condescending tone.[1] In the late 1930s, Allen Lane, the founder of Penguin Books, wished to create a new line, to be called "Pelican" books, which would be dedicated to publishing clear expositions of current social debates. He desired that Shaw's Intelligent Woman's Guide should become the first in that series. Shaw wrote to Lane that since almost 10 years had elapsed the book's title needed to be changed to "The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism, Capitalism, Sovietism, and Fascism"; and under that title the book became the first Pelican in two paperbound volumes in 1937.
