#just realised i dont have any long serious readings historicizing feminist thinking from a socialist perspective

[metamatar]

hi antara! do u have any recs for understanding feminism from a marxist lens?

im certainly not the most well read socialist feminist so i'd recommend going beyond this for sure but some useful places to start. all links for free access.

anuradha gandhy's notes on the philosophical trends in the feminist movement, if you don't have any background in marxist critique of feminism, caveats for her anti sex work positions which is tbh v common in indian feminists despite how much sex workers organise in india.

gail omvedt's essay caste class and womens liberation, is compulsory reading if you're in india esp.

playing the whore by melissa gira grant on sex work

abolishing the family by sophie lewis for more on engels' question of family.

slight more dense, but definitely more interesting and useful is nat raha's essay, a queer marxist trans feminism: queer and trans social reproduction. you can find it in a book i have not finished, transgender marxism.
