Socialist feminism

Ideology that seeks liberation from economic and cultural sources of women's oppression

Socialist feminism rose in the 1960s and 1970s as an offshoot of the feminist movement and New Left that focuses upon the interconnectivity of the patriarchy and capitalism. However, the ways in which women's private, domestic, and public roles in society has been conceptualized, or thought about, can be traced back to Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) and William Thompson's utopian socialist work in the 19th century. Ideas about overcoming the patriarchy by coming together in female groups to talk about personal problems stem from Carol Hanisch.
