About this Item

Paperback. This, the first book-length study devoted exclusively to Marx's perspectives on gender and the family, offers a fresh look at this topic in light of twenty-first century concerns. Although Marx's writings sometimes exhibit sexism his work often transcends these phrases. Brown studies his writings on gender, as well as his 1879-1882 notebooks on precapitalist societies and gender. Marx has long been accused of not taking women's issues seriously. Heather Brown sets the record straight. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
