Workers’ Liberty have been organising a series of meetings to discuss Marxism, feminism and the fight for women’s liberation today.
In Britain and internationally there is a revival of feminist ideas and activism. In past women’s movements Marxist ideas have played an important role but this isn’t so true today. It’s time to renew the link! And it is time for Workers’ Liberty to renew its Marxist feminist ideas.
With that in mind this series of workshops discusses issues ranging from what a Marxist analysis can offer to our understanding of women’s oppression today; to the question of whether feminist politics can unite all women; to the socialist left’s record on women’s liberation and what we can do to improve it.
