Reimagining Marxism: Radical Feminism and Gender Oppression
This chapter delves into the ideas of radical feminist thinkers, exploring their departure from Marxism and their focus on women's oppression. It discusses the works of Kate Millet and Chula Smith Firestone, highlighting Millet's 'Sexual Politics' as a paradigmatic example of early radical feminism, and Firestone's 'The Dialectics of Sex' which focused on women's reproductive role. The chapter critiques radical feminism for its ahistorical approach and its emphasis on cultural and individual reform rather than addressing the structural economic and political problems underlying women's oppression.
