WHAT’S MATERIAL ABOUT MATERIALIST FEMINISM? A MARXIST FEMINIST CRITIQUE

http://www.colorado.edu/Sociology/gimenez/work/rphil.html

Through these two weeks, reading Section2 and Section3,it seems Marxist Feminist Theory is an unavoidable topic.

in the heady days of the Women’s Liberation Movement, to identify four main currents within feminist thought; Liberal (concerned with attaining economic and political equality within the context of capitalism); Radical (focused on men and patriarchy as the main causes of the oppression of women); Socialist (critical of capitalism and Marxism, so much so that avoidance of Marxism’s alleged reductionisms resulted in dual systems theories postulating various forms of interaction between capitalism and patriarchy); and Marxist Feminism (a theoretical position held by relatively few feminists in the U. S. which sought to develop the potential of Marxist theory to understand the capitalist sources of the oppression of women).

Before reading Section2 and Section3 these materials, I was completely unaware of these, it is very hard to read. I found this article  sort out these issues from stages. I think it can help me understand. But his point of view in the article, I do not know which is right or wrong.
