updates made to Marist Feminism Page

  The changes that have been done to the Marxist Feminist page; were done as a part of a project for an Introduction to Feminist Theory class, it was found that the information given on the original page was incomplete and needed to be added to. This was the goal of the project. To gain as much knowledge as possible and condense it, in order to give correct and complete information on the different subjects found in Feminist Theory. This is an attempt to expand the knowledge and history of Marxist Feminism.

"Radical Women"

Why does the article say "Radical Women, a major Marxist-feminist organization, bases its theory on Marx' and Engels' analysis".... Why not just "Marx' and Engels' analysis was"... It just looks like an unncessary name-check. --Duncan (talk) 12:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-Erm...should the criticism section really be longer than the main body of the article? Just a question. - Anon
-:If it takes more words to explain the criticism than the theory, then yes it should. - [[User:Corvus|Corvus]] 2 July 2005 00:47 (UTC)
-The first paragraph implies that capitalism is the root of women's oppression, despite the fact that women have been oppressed before capitalism arose. Marxist DO recognise this, and the article is wrong. The oppression of women came out of the development of CLASS SOCIETY, not specifically capitalism. - [[user:mattkidd12]] 18 July 2005 21:23
-:It was explained to me that Marxist Feminism is a subset of socialist feminism which specifically targets oppression of women arising from capitalism, not all forms of oppression. If the article implies all forms of oppression arise from capitalism then it is wrong, but that is not the impression I got. -- [[User:Corvus|Corvus]] 18:47, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
-I agree with mattkidd12's comments: Engel's book on the origins of women's oppression makes the case clear. Unless there are any objections, I suggest we revise that.--[[User:DuncanBCS|Duncan]] 13:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
-:I agree absolutely. My interpretation of this is that ''Origins of the Family, Private Property, and the State'' by Engels should be considered the maiden voyage of Marxist feminism, and he is unequivocal that the historical domination of women began not with capitalism, but some millennia earlier with the overthrow of [[mother right]]. I suggest we find some citations for this and amend the article. --[[User:Ryan Delaney|Ryan Delaney]] [[User talk:Ryan Delaney|<sup><b>talk</b></sup>]] 23:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
