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":"Johanna Brenner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274238472443,"sku":"9781583670101","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/women-and-the-politics-of-class-9781583670101","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
