I’m wanting to get into some “graduate-level” works on Marxist-Feminism. So far I’ve read Federici, Lerner, and Vogel, which have been wonderful.

What do yall suggest I read?

    I assume The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir is a must, but I haven’t read it. It’s a complicated read as far as I know.

    I think that the Scripting the Change: Selected Writings of Anuradha Ghandy may have some good stuff.

    Some of the books by her also seem pretty interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chizuko_Ueno

    Also this one by Angela Davis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women,_Race_and_Class

    This article by Eleanor Marx also seems promising and it’s short: https://www.marxists.org/archive/eleanor-marx/works/womanq.htm

    And while she is not a Marxist Shulamith Firestone’s The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution seems interesting there may be some bad takes, but I think nevertheless you’ll find good stuff.

    IMO, while of course reading Marxist Feminist works is important, you need to read radical feminism anyways because there are interesting takes here and there and that’s where most of the writings are.
