The Marxist Feminist Analyse

This work by angles was the first historical and dialectical materialist analysis of family formation and women's structural oppression in class societies. It also put essential emphasis on proletarian feminism as opposed to bourgeois feminism which operates under the delusion that equality for women can exist in a class society. In addition it shows that certain forms of feminism that pit men against women and see men as the primary cause of women's oppression work only to entrench the system divide. The marxist feminist analysis inaugurated by this historic work of angles has informed every major socialist revolutionary movement from Bolsheviks to Chinese communists, sancara in Burkina Faso to Zapatistas in Chiapas to revolutionary Cuba and beyond.
