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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing 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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monthly Review Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062163947760,"sku":"9781583670095","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781583670095_p0.jpg?v=1763802784","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781583670095","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
