Synopsis

An indispensable guide to approaching key philosophical and political questions from a Marxist-feminist point of view.

The book shows the fruitfulness of combining Marxist and feminist perspectives in our analysis of oppression under capitalism. Different modes of production like capitalism and feudalism have structures – “relations of production” – which shape and limit the potentials for human emancipation in general and women’s freedom in particular. Capitalism, then, is best understood as a framework within which other relations of oppression operate, with more or less salience in different times and places. Each of the essays takes this basic approach to key philosophical questions about freedom, rationality and human nature.
