First published in 1983, Lise Vogel’s seminal work, Marxism and the Oppression of Women: Towards a Unitary Theory, was seized on by a generation of feminists who called themselves Marxist feminists, but were finding the fragmentation of socialism and feminism difficult to navigate. Now republished, it was launched (or, rather, re-launched) at the Historical Materialism Conference in London in late 2014. Pod Academy was at the launch, and recorded the platform speakers:
- Lise Vogel, Professor (retired) of Sociology at Rider University and the author of numerous books and articles. Before becoming a sociologist, she had an earlier career in art history.
- Dr. Tithi Battacharya. associate professor at Purdue Liberal Arts University in the US,
- Kate Davison, of Melbourne University
- Dr Sue Ferguson, Associate Professor of Digital Media and Journalism at the Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada, who co-wrote, with David McNally, the introduction to the new edition of the book.
