"Marxism-Feminism" [or feminist socialism] is an important topic, one continuously riddled with issues of feminism's reconcilation with, "assimilation" into, and controversial relationship with marxist and socialist politics and analysis. It challenges marxism to deal more directly with issues of gender/power differences, and presents a much-needed critique of mainstream feminism's failure to deal meaningfully with analysis of class structures and ethnic differences. It offers opportunities for unity of understandings and struggles in the midst of difference and disagreement. The purpose of this list is to provide a useful and thought-provoking forum for discussion for all those interested in the intersection of feminism and marxism. It is especially intended to create a meaningful dialogue amongst those working both inside and outside of "the academy" - as well as other communities of people too often separated by oppressive social structures. We hope to open new lines of communication between people with like-minded feminist and socialist visions, to assist in establishing a more concrete and politically viable connection between "feminist theory" and actual lives and day-to-day concerns of working-class people everywhere. All contributions should relate to issues of both class and gender, whether explicitly or implicitly. This is intended to be a long-term, on-going discussion list, which may include periods that are devoted to more intensive focus on a particular project, reading or topic. Examples of some of the topics intended for discussion include [in no particular order]: the relationship of marxist-feminist politics in and outside of the academy , esp. issues of concerning the so-called division between "theory" and "practice" the necessity of establishing a feminist methodology that does not isolate or privilege gender at the expense of class and race, instead of the usual innefectual "listing" of differences in place of serious discussion of the ways that they inform our very notion of "gender" as such on a related note, how might an analysis of the reasons for second wave feminism's bourgeois origins help us avoid similar pitfalls today? a (re)evaluation of Marx's and Engel's positions on gender and the family, esp. in relation to marxist and non-marxist feminists' treatment of these issues the relationship of the different meanings/significations of concepts such as "reproduction" and "nature" in feminist and marxist writings the present position of women in the international marketplace, esp. the role of gender in the international division of labor; what new modes of gender/class exploitation have arisen as a consequence of the intensive global expansion of capitalism in all its new and increasingly destructive forms? what new strategies can/must we devise to adequadely deal with such changes (for instance, in communications, such as the WWW?) what opportunities for effective political and social change do they offer? how do issues of access/privilege complicate and inform any such opportunites? how world-wide is the WWW?
