Feminism is once again on the political agenda. Across the world
women are taking to the streets to protest unfair working
conditions, abortion laws, and sexual violence. They are demanding
decent wages, better schools and free childcare. But why do some
feminists choose to fight for more women CEOs, while others fight
for a world without CEOs? To understand these divergent approaches,
Susan Ferguson looks at the ideas that have inspired women to
protest, exploring the ways in which feminists have placed work at
the centre of their struggle for emancipation. Two distinct
trajectories emerge: 'equality feminism' and 'social reproduction
feminism'. Ferguson argues that socialists have too often embraced
the 'liberal' tendencies of equality feminism, while neglecting the
insights of social reproduction feminism. Engaging with feminist
anti-work critiques, Ferguson proposes that women's emancipation
depends upon a radical reimagining of all labour and advocates for
a renewed social reproduction framework as a powerful basis for an
inclusive feminist politics.
