Materialist Feminism: A Reader in Class, Difference, and Women's Lives Paperback - 1997

by Rosemary Hennessy (Editor); Chrys Ingraham (Editor)


From the publisher

During the 1980s, capitalism triumphantly secured its global reach, anti-communist ideologies hammered home socialism's inherent failure, the New Left increasingly moved into the professional middle class--and many of feminism's earlier priorities were marginalized. "Identity politics", often formulated in terms of social reconstructionism or multiculturalism, has increasingly suppressed materialist feminism's systematic perspective, replacing it with discourse analysis or cultural politics. Materialist Feminism: A Reader argues against the retreat to multiculturalism for keeping invisible the material links among the explosion of meaning-making practices in highly industrialized social sectors, the exploitation of women's labor, and the appropriation of women's bodies that continues to undergird the scramble for profits and state power in multinational capitalism.

First line

The "woman question" is generally ignored in analyses of the class structure of society.

From the rear cover

Materialist Feminism: A Reader In Class, Difference, And Women's Lives speaks out against the retreat to identity politics.
