The meaning of ‘Socialist Woman’s Guide to Intelligence’

The passage below is from The Library: A Fragile History by Andrew Pettegree.

When in 1937 Penguin Books launched its non-fiction strand, Pelican, the first title was George Bernard Shaw’s The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism, Capitalism, Sovietism and Fascism. This, as the title suggests, was a controversial choice. When first published in 1929, as Shaw’s response to his sister-in-law’s request for a pamphlet explaining Socialism, it provoked an immediate and blistering reply from a reader who objected to its patronising tone: Lilian Le Mesurier’s Socialist Woman’s Guide to Intelligence. The point was well made, but not enough to discourage Allen Lane from the Pelican reprint, updated to reflect the new threats of the era.

I’m not sure about the meaning of the underlined book title.

Another book(The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism)’s meaning is obvious in the context.

It means ‘the guide for the intelligent woman to the knowledge of Socialism’.

(Am I right?)

But to me the meaning of ‘Socialist Woman’s Guide to Intelligence’ is not so simple. It seems that it can be interpreted at least two ways.

Let me show the two interpretations.

First, if we follow the meaning of Show’s book it seems to mean ‘the guide for socialist woman to becoming an intelligent woman’, that is this book will make socialist woman to also be intelligent.

Second, it seems that since the author is deriding Show’s paternalistic attitude it can be interpreted as ‘a socialist woman’s attempt to guide someone (probably Show) to intelligence’.

With which interpretation do you agree? Or do you have another suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
