Summary
This book provides the reader with an overview of the recent theoretical debates which have taken place over gender inequality. It examines Marxism, radical and liberal feminism, post-structuralism and dual-systems theory, and shows how each can be applied to a range of phenomena from paid work, housework and the state, to culture, sexuality and violence. Drawing upon the most up-to-date empirical findings, the author combines class analysis with radical feminist theory to explain relations between the sexes. Patriarchy has been vigorously adaptable to changes in women's position, she argues, and this book is also an account of continuing feminist action. Book jacket.
