Marxist FeminismThe objective of my article is to examine the link between capitalism and women's social and economic inequalities. Marxist feminism explores this question by laying out an economic theory that shows a correlation between the emergence of capitalism, private production and property and the continued oppression of women. Other theorists argue that this oppression is due to an already existing patriarchal society. Is the exploitation of housewives through an unjust division of labor the result of the beginnings of capitalism? Is this domestic exploitation at the origin of other inequalities, notably those in the salaried labor market? Is capitalism supported by already existing patriarchal social relations, or does capitalism continue to reinforce patriarchal systems? Is it finally possible to liberate women and achieve true equality in our current capitalist economy? These are the main questions that I will examine throughout my article. These questions and the purpose of my article are important to explore because they will help me better understand my current status as a woman in our capitalist economy. Understanding the origins of women's economic oppression and other inequalities is part of finding insight into how to remedy our current situation as women. It is important for me to answer the questions I have asked in order to take small steps personally and eventually publicly to change the current position of women.BIBLIOGRAPHYBooth, Janine, Rosie Woods, “Women, Capitalism and Socialism” WorkerLiberty Magazine, no . . 58, October 1999.
