A major voice on the American left.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e--Mike Davis, May 2000\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Is there a future for feminism? The debate over the direction and politics of the women's movement has been joined recently by post-feminists and anti-feminists, in addition to competing feminist perspectives. In Women and the Politics of Class, Johanna Brenner offers a distinctive view, arguing for a strategic turn in feminist politics toward coalitions centered on the interests of working-class women.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWomen and the Politics of Class\u003c\/b\u003e engages many crucial contemporary feminist issues-abortion, reproductive technology, comparable worth, the impoverishment of women, the crisis in care-giving, and the shredding of the social safety net through welfare reform and budget cuts. These problems, Brenner argues, must be set in the political and economic context of a state and society dominated by the imperatives of capital accumulation.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on historical explorations of the labor movement and working-class politics, Brenner provides a fresh materialist approach to one of the most important issues of feminist theory today: the intersection of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality, and class.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monthly Review Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47813629444247,"sku":"9781583670095","price":8665.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781583670095.webp?v=1778337293","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/women-and-the-politics-of-class-9781583670095","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
