I already have quite a few pieces of Marxist literature as bookstores in the city I do my art studies in has a good variety, but I don't have any that are Marxist-Feminist or tackle feminism and queerness from a left wing perspective;

I would definitely rather they not be trans-exlusionary as I find those hard to read and heavily disagree with that point of view, thank you?

Does 'The Origin of family, Private Property, and the State' count as Feminist literature?

[โ€“] Everyn@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I already have that one, but sort of yes, it does have an analysis on how women are treated under capitalism but i do feel like it's more a marxist book that happens to talk about things that fall into feminism, rather than intentionally and explicitly feminist.
