Abstract/Summary:
The relationship between Marxism and Feminism has been historically fraught with disagreement, dissent, and divorce. The result has been a collective failure to recognize an opportunity to engender a revolutionary subject through feminist thinking while maintaining an important Marxist critique of capitalism. The task, then, given this apparent failure, is to reformulate the revolutionary subject, to inquire into her "subjectivity" from within the feminist tradition without casting aside Marxism's own theoretical insights about the nature of capitalist exploitation.
