description: Marxism and Feminism is a critical examination of feminist thought since the eighteenth century, from a Marxist perspective. It is a response to the growing dissatisfaction with feminist writing which declares simply that men oppress women, sometimes describes how, but falls short of examining why. In this book some of the early proponents of women's rights are examined. The Marxist analysis of Engels is clarified. More recent contributors, writing from the tradition of radical feminism or attempting Marxist explanations, fall under scrutiny. Guettel takes a critical look at the issues and the theory arising from women's movement today.
