A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Once described by Simone de Beauvoir as France’s most exciting feminist writer, the sociologist Christine Delphy was a central figure in French feminism, and one of the first to focus on the structural importance of the family in understanding women’s oppression. Close to Home is her classic study of the family, patriarchal ideologies, and the politics and strategy of the women’s liberation movement. Debating whether men can be feminists, whether “bourgeois” and heterosexual women are retrogressive members of the women’s movement, and how best to struggle against the multiple oppressions women endure, Close to Home remains as relevant today as when it was published in the seventies.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Classic analysis of gender relations and patriarchy under capitalism

Close to Home is the classic study of family, patriarchal ideologies, and the politics and strategy of women’s liberation. On the table in this forceful and provocative debate are questions of whether men can be feminists, whether “bourgeois” and heterosexual women are retrogressive members of the women’s movement, and how best to struggle against the multiple oppressions women endure.

Rachel Hills’s foreword to this new edition explores how Christine Delphy’s analysis of marriage as the institution behind the exploitation of unpaid women’s labor is as radical and relevant today as it ever was.
