Feminist Journal Critiquing Patriarchal Biases in Economic Theory "Impolite Questions About Frederick Engels", 1970

1970. [Feminist] Impolite Questions About Frederick Engels, A Feminist Journal. Women Unlimited: St. Paul Minnesota, March 1970. A journal with two articles of feminist theory reexamining the work of Frederick Engels. Measures 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Marigold yellow soft cover pamphlet stapled with 50 cent mark in top corner and "no. 1" printed at bottom beneath title. These papers criticize the biases underlying Engel's milestone text, The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, revealing the limitations of Marxism within a patriarchal framework. The 1970s were a period of rapid growth for feminist theory with new scholarly attention turned to the role gender plays in shaping every aspect of human experience, including those limiting experiences of theorists like Engel. As feminist radicalism gained respect within scholarship, perspective on prominent texts shifted, too. Ink imprints from opposing pages do not obscure text. Text has been underlined in black in places. Very good condition.
