Women’s Oppression Today is a classic text in the debate about Marxism and feminism, exploring how gender, sexuality and the ’family-household system’ operate in relation to contemporary capitalism. In this updated edition, Mich�le Barrett surveys the social and intellectual changes that have taken place since the book’s original publication, and looks back at the political climate in which the book was written. In a major new essay, she defends the central arguments of the book, at the same time addressing the way such an engagement would play out differently today, over thirty years later.
A foreword by Kathi Weeks examines the importance of approaching all feminist theories as events whose repercussions stretch beyond the circumstances of their creation.
