Sylvia Walby provides an overview of recent theoretical debates --
Marxism, radical and liberal feminism, post--structuralism and dual
systems theory. She shows how each can be applied to a range of
substantive topics from paid work, housework and the state, to
culture, sexuality and violence, relying on the most up--to--date
empirical findings. Arguing that patriarchy has been vigorously
adaptable to the changes in womena s position, and that some of
womena s hard--won social gains have been transformed into new
traps, Walby proposes a combination of class analysis with radical
feminist theory to explain gender relations in terms of both
patriarchal and capitalist structure.
