Clara Zetkin, an organizer of the First International Women's Day, presented this Report and Resolution on fascism at the June 1923 enlarged plenum of the Communist International's executive committee. At a time when fascism was a new and little-understood phenomenon, Zetkin's work proposed a sweeping plan for the unity of all victims of capitalism in an ideological and political campaign against the fascist danger.

Clara Zetkin (18571933) was a German Marxist theorist, activist, and advocate for women's rights. In 1911, she organized the first International Women's Day.
