Features of Women and Work: Feminism, Labour, and Social Reproduction (Mapping Social Reproduction Theory)
A masterful analysis of three centuries of feminist deliberations on work, carefully tracing how the fault lines of social-reproduction theory emerged.-Historical MaterialismFeminism is once again on the political agenda. Across the world women are taking to the streets to protest unfair working conditions, abortion laws, and sexual violence. They are demanding decent wages, better schools and free childcare.But why do some feminists choose to fight for more women CEOs, while others fight for a world without CEOs?To understand these divergent approaches, Susan Ferguson looks at the ideas that have inspired women to protest, exploring the ways in which feminists have placed work at the center of their struggle for emancipation. Two distinct trajectories emerge: equality feminism and social reproduction feminism. Ferguson argues that socialists have too often embraced the liberal tendencies of equality feminism, while neglecting the insights of social reproduction feminism. Engaging with feminist anti-work critiques, She proposes that women's emancipation depends upon a radical reimagining of all labor and advocates for a renewed social reproduction framework as a powerful basis for an inclusive feminist politics. Chapters here include;*The Rational-Humanist Roots of Equality Feminism*Socialist Feminism: Two Approaches to Understanding Women's Work*Equal Work for and against Capital*Anti-Racist Feminism and Women's Work*A Political Economy of 'Women's Work': Producing Patriarchal Capitalism*Renewing Social Reproduction Feminism*The Social Reproduction Strike: Life-Making Beyond CapitalismWomen and Work offers a timely and important look at the intersectionality of feminism and workers rights. Scholars and students will both find valuable insights into the history of feminist theory and social movement.
