Description
Marxism and Feminism is a critical examination of feminist thought since the eighteenth century from a Marxist perspective. The book makes the case that the oppression of women is a consequence of capitalism, and that fighting against women's oppression is part of the class struggle. The liberation of women depends on socialism, and the further development of socialism depends in part on the further liberation of women.
