  • Marxist-feminists

    Argue that women are exploited both by patriarchy and by capitalism, and therefore the family best serves the interests of men and bosses
  • Capitalism gets the benefit of women's unpaid labour (maintaining the workforce and the next generation of workers)
  • Women also serve as a reserve army of labour (available to work if necessary, therefore keeping wages low)
  • Women workers are often the lowest paid and most insecure, with the least rights
