Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
What is patriarchy? How are contemporary women oppressed and exploited by patriarchy? Where is the path to women's liberation?
This book is an important work that the author has completed after ten years. It is her rethinking of various factions of feminism, especially Marxist feminism, at the end of the second wave of feminism and the beginning of the rise of postmodern feminist thought and queer theory. In modern society, under the dual control of the "market" dominated by "capitalism" and the "family form" dominated by "patriarchy", the historical roots of the low status of women are formed with unpaid female labor as the center. The author has made a profound criticism of this and put forward pertinent suggestions on how to improve the social status of women.
Although this book discusses the status of Japanese women, its views are applicable to China's current national conditions to a considerable extent. Therefore, it is a great inspiration for anyone who thinks about the status of women and gender equality.
