Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-21 00:00:00 Jason Vitale Selon Delphy, son livre le plus important ! Il s'agit de sa théorisation, avec Diana Leonard, du travail domestique comme système d'exploitation des femmes. L'extrême rigueur avec laquelle la théorie est présentée rend selon moi certains passages un peu indigestes. Mais c'est un livre capital pour comprendre une partie de l'exploitation des femmes!!

Review # 2 was written on 2008-09-11 00:00:00 Steven Ricks I read this book for my thesis and it is an excellent materialist (true Marxist) analysis of women's exploitation in the family, while arguing against the notion that the family is exploitive because it is capitalistic. Instead they argue that it is because women's labor is appropriated that the family is exploitive. Also, their intro is really great, because they provide an overview of the relation between Marism and feminism, and elaborate what actual Marxist materialism was about: inequality and exploitation, not first and foremost capitalism. In my thesis I provide some critique of their work, but they proved a compelling and useful argument for anyone who is interested in an economic perspective on the family.
