Women's Oppression Today by Michele Barrett
A classic text in the debate about Marxism and feminism.
Michèle Barrett's excellent and lucid discussion of the issues and debates within contemporary feminist theory makes a major contribution to our understanding of the nature of that oppression-- Mary Evans * New Society *
This book is a school of thought. -- Frigga Haug * Das Argument *
Historically significant and deeply relevant to today's discussions, Barrett's interrogation of Marxism, feminism, patriarchy and the state is serious yet accessible: this is a key text in the history (and present) of both Marxism and feminism. -- Nina Power, author of One-Dimensional Woman
Barrett's eloquent elucidation of the ties and ruptures between feminism and Marxism at the close of the 1970s is especially timely today ... as austerity measures hit women in particular hardest. -- Lynne Segal, Birkbeck College, University of London
