A Marxist Study Of Feministism

With the awakening of women's self-consciousness and the improvement of knowledge and culture,the discussion of women's rights and interests has become a hot topic in society and politics.Feminist Marxism is unique among many feminist schools because of its unique philosophical perspective and foresight.Marx's own attitude towards women's liberation has been mentioned in many of his works,and Engels' works on this issue are "The Origin of Family,Private Ownership and the State".It is in Engels' theory that feminist Marxist thought has developed.At the same time,combining the characteristics of feminist movement in different times,feminist schools with Marxist characteristics have gradually developed.The emergence of feminist Marxism is caused by the joint action of the industrial revolution and the development of capitalism,the advancement of women's civil rights movement and the development of women's theoretical needs for women's liberation movement.Feminist Marxists introduced Marxist classical theories such as economic factors,private ownership and ideology into the analysis of women's oppression,thus forming a unique school with the characteristics of Marxist historical materialism.The germination,maturity and perfection of feminist Marxism are in the three waves of feminist movement.The analysis of these three waves is also an important basis for us to understand feminist Marxist theory.In order to better understand and analyze the uniqueness of feminist Marxist thought,the study of representative figures is also very important.Juliet Mitchell's dualism theory,Iris Young's monism thought,Lisa Vogel's exploration of the socialist movement and social reproduction theory and Nancy Hasock's combination of feminism,Marxism and historical materialism,and answered the queries of postmodern scholars about modern feminist Marxism.These feminists are of great significance to the development of feminist Marxism.The philosophical thought contained in feminist Marxist theory itself is of great help to solve the current women's problems.At the same time,feminist Marxist thought can deepen our understanding of Marxist theory of women's liberation and human liberation to a certain extent,and also reflect the criticism of the nature of exploitation and oppression of contemporary capitalist system.But we also need to realize that the theory itself is still in the stage of development,so the feminist Marxist thought can guide current feminists to better understand and solve the problem of women's oppression.
