Secondly, he pointed out that the origin of oppression on female lay in the private ownership. The increase of wealth led to the private ownership, which caused the privatization of female housework and the disdain to it. As a result, female became the oppressed, isolated from the public. At last, the goal of feminine liberation was not only the pursuit for their corresponding politic rights, but also their overall development, as we should achieve the feminine liberation on the premise of human liberation.Marxism has suffered plenty of criticism from Western Feminism, whereas it remains the important theoretical resource of feminism, which is confronted with difficulty to further development recently.
