Mary E John writes on ‘The Woman Question: Reflections on Feminism and Marxism‘ (2017)
Abstract:
The entwined and conflicted histories of feminism and Marxism could yield new understandings of the problems besetting the women’s movement in 21st century India, particularly issues concerning sex work, and caste. Spanning the socialist feminists of early 19th century Europe, Marx’s own writings on the “woman question,” and the scholarship that emerges from the 1960s and 1970s, this paper suggests that recent post-Marxist work can offer a fruitful site for pushing the boundaries of feminist approaches to capitalist development in India today.

‘Feminism at Work‘, by Amy S. Wharton (2000)
Abstract:
This article examines the contributions of feminist scholarship to the study of work, occupations, and organizations. Three themes in the literature are explored: (1) characteristics of housework and so-called women’s work more generally; (2) economic inequality between men and women; and (3) structural and institutional bases of gender in the workplace. Feminist activists have shaped the direction of feminist scholarship on these themes, and this scholarship in turn has influenced feminist activists’ strategies and orientations. The article concludes with a discussion of future challenges for feminist research on work.
