Socialist feminist theorizing is flourishing today. This
collection is intended to show its strengths and resources and
convey a sense of it as an ongoing project with a vital role to
play in struggles for emancipation from all forms of oppression and
exploitation today. Not every contribution to that project bears
the same theoretical label, but the writings collected here share a
broad aim of understanding women's subordination in a way which
integrates class and sex--as well as aspects of women's identity
such as race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation--with the aim of
liberating women.
Socialist Feminism brings together the most important recent
socialist feminist writings on a wide range of topics: sex and
reproduction, the family, wage labor, social welfare and public
policy, the place of sex and gender in politics, and the
philosophical foundations of socialist feminism. Although focusing
on recent writings, the collection shows how these build on a
struggle for women's liberation with earlier beginnings.
These writings demonstrate the range, depth, and vitality of
contemporary social feminist debates. They also testify to the
distinctive capacity of this project to address issues in a way
that embraces collective experience and action while at the same
time enabling each person to speak in their own personal voice.
