Yet around the world it is also women who are leading the struggle against oppression and exploitation. In light of renewed interest in Marxist theory among many women activists and academics, \u003ci\u003eMarxism and Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e presents a contemporary and accessible Marxist–feminist analysis on a host of issues. It reassesses previous debates and seeks to answer pressing questions of how we should understand the relationship between patriarchy and capitalism, and how we can envision a feminist project which emancipates both women and society.  With contributions from both renowned scholars and new voices, \u003ci\u003eMarxism and Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e is set to become the foundational text for modern Marxist-feminist thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn important addition to the body of radical analysis that left feminists can use to educate ourselves about old and new theoretical, political and methodological debates on the left. It also is a signal that such debates are receiving new energy in the 21st century by new generations of left feminist intellectuals and activists dissatisfied with the academic compromises that institutionalized feminism has made, and the failure to incorporate feminist insights into Marxist-inspired theory and politics.'\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e * Against the Current *\u003cbr\u003eDiscussions of democracy, finance capitalism, nationalism and imperialism release feminist theory from the confines of the so-called woman question by theorising the global social moment … held together by a commitment to dialectical inquiry and revolutionary feminist praxis.'\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e * Historical Materialism *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarxism and Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e is an outstanding contribution to the shared project of scholar-activists across diverse disciplines and movements.

Bakan, University of Toronto *\u003cbr\u003eReading this book made me aware of how much such a book is needed to awaken a dialogue between Marxism and feminism. I didn't agree with all that I read, but that's exactly what a book with this framework should do to awaken us. * Dorothy Smith, University of Victoria *\u003cbr\u003eThe relationship between Marxists and Feminists has always been problematic.

I hope that many women and men read it. * Maria Mies, author of Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarxism and Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e is a serious, nuanced collection that covers a great deal of ground in a clear and concise way.
