Heidi Hartmann, « The Unhappy Marriage of Marxism and Feminism », 1979 ✓

Earlier drafts of this paper appeared in 1975 and 1977 coauthored with Amy B. [Beth] Bridges. Unfortunately, because of the press of current commitments, Amy was unable to continue with this project, joint from its inception and throughout most of its long and controversial history. Over the years many individuals and groups offered us comments, debate, and support. Among them I would like to thank Marxist Feminist Group 1, the Women’s Studies College at SUNY Buffalo, the Women’s Studies Program at the University of Michigan, and various groups of the Union for Radical Political Economics. I would also like to thank Temma Kaplan, Ann Markusen, and Jane Flax for particularly careful, recent readings. This article will appear, along with responses, extensions, critiques and so forth, in Women and Revolution, edited by Lydia Sargent, to be published by South End Press early in 1980 [Sargent 1981]. I thank Lydia, the South End Press, and the editors of Capital and Class for their interest in this paper. I can be contacted through South End Press (Box 68, Astor Station, Boston, Massachusetts, 02123).
