Description
The Contested Domain presents a curated selection of influential writings that bridge Marxist political economy and feminist theory through the framework of social reproduction. This collection explores how capitalist systems depend upon and exploit reproductive labor—both biological and social—performed primarily by women.
The book examines the theoretical foundations and contemporary applications of social reproduction theory, analyzing the relationships between waged and unwaged work, family structures, and economic systems. Contributors investigate how feminism and Marxism together provide essential tools for understanding gender oppression within capitalist societies.
Essential for scholars, activists, and students seeking to understand the political economy of gender, this work offers critical perspectives on how social reproduction shapes class relations and feminist struggle. The writings address both historical developments and current debates within Marxist-feminist theory.
