Marxists/Socialist Feminism
Marxist/Socialist Feminism:
*Allison Jagger and Clara Fraser leading advocates. *Influenced by works of Marx, Max and Engels. *Engels wrote widely about it in his book, The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State, directing attention towards how in capitalistic economies men monopolize paid labor and use this as a tool to control women-especially in nuclear families. Also pointed out that for the property owning class where the class system’s continuous survival across generations depends solely on the inheritance of property rights, men have ensured that fidelity and chastity in women is valued so that the power of the ruling class stays in the family. This is another control/bind on women and women oppression serves the function of class oppression regeneration over the years. *Women oppression is a direct result of capitalism and ownership of property rights. *Concepts: Unequal and unfair division of labor between men and women (concept of productive and reproductive labor: Productive labor: produces goods and services and earns monetary rewards. Reproductive labor: activities like cooking, cleaning, child rearing for oneself which has no monetary reward.), no right to own property, whoever controls the money in the house has unequal power over the other, focused on liberating by improving women’s material status, Used historical materialism analysis to see progression of women subjugation with regards to the advent of capitalism (in older, simpler societies women usually had more of an equal role to men e.g in hunting and gathering societies women often were gatherers hence working to provide food and were valued members), *Criticism: Only economic sense, Issue of class inequality making it difficult for upper class feminists to understand working class conditions. |
