Marxist feminism

Many had found Marxist feminism difficult to swallow and preferred their traditional female roles.

Radical feminism, which emerged before the 1970s, also took issue with Marxist feminism.

Marxist feminism is rather more complicated in that it sees the oppression of women as inextricably linked to the class system.

These strains of radical feminism are often referred to as "Marxist feminism".

Marxist feminism, like radical feminism, regards the relationship between the sexes as political: that is, about power.

Marxist feminism represents a two-pronged attack: the first on orthodox Marxism, the second on orthodox (i.e. liberal and radical) feminism.

Marxist feminism is a sub-type of feminist theory which focuses on the social institutions of private property and capitalism to explain and criticize gender inequality and oppression.

Marxist feminism states that private property, which gives rise to economic inequality, dependence, political confusion and ultimately unhealthy social relations between men and women, is the root of women's oppression.

Marxist feminism argues that capitalism is the root cause of women's oppression, and that discrimination against women in domestic life and employment is an effect of capitalist ideologies.

Socialist feminism distinguishes itself from Marxist feminism by arguing that women's liberation can only be achieved by working to end both the economic and cultural sources of women's oppression.

Radical feminists locate the root cause of women's oppression in patriarchal gender relations, as opposed to legal systems (as in liberal feminism) or class conflict (as in socialist feminism and Marxist feminism).

Socialist feminism is a two-pronged theory that broadens Marxist feminism's argument for the role of capitalism in the oppression of women and radical feminism's theory of the role of gender and the patriarchy.

Socialist feminism (e.g.Freedom Socialist Party, Radical Women) and Marxist feminism (e.g. Selma James) saw themselves as a part of the left that challenged what they perceive to be male-dominated and sexist structures within the left.

Alison Jaggar, in Feminist Politics and Human Nature (1983), looks at the relation between feminist theory and political philosophy, arguing that different feminist theories - liberal feminism, radical feminism, Marxist feminism and socialist feminism - imply different conceptions of human nature and have different implications for practice.

With his Origins of the Family, Private Property, and the State (1884) - analysing monogamous marriage as guaranteeing male social domination of women, a concept analogous, in communist theory, to the capitalist class's economic domination of the working class - Engels made intellectually significant contributions to feminist theory and Marxist feminism.
