These original essays are planned to provide a coherent basis for
an understanding of women's social and historical situation. This
achieved by outlining the foundation of a systematic approach to an
analysis of women's relationship to modes of production and
reproduction within a materialist framework. The essays, each with
a brief editorial introduction, deal with issues and perspectives
brought increasingly to the fore in recent years, not only in the
women's movement but in the social sciences generally. The articles
are wide-ranging, covering such issues as patriarchy, paid and
unpaid labour and the state. The centrality of two of the major
themes - the family and the labour process - suggests that an
understanding of women's situation is necessarily based on an
analysis of the structures of production and reproduction. The
authors' aim in producing Feminism and Materialism is to confront
systematically theoretical issues current in the developing area of
women's studies, while recognising that this must constitute a
critique of existing theoretical frameworks. The book will be of
interest to teachers and students in the social sciences and in
women's studies, as well as to all those who wish to develop an
understanding of what a materialist approach to feminism might be.
