EXISTENTIALISM The social world and the construction of the women

Existentialist feminism Derives from the work of Simone de Beauvoir One is not born a women but becomes one through social experience Women do not need to be powerless or dependent on male/female relationships A person’s identity is made up of their emotions, actions, responsibilities, and thoughts: Not their sex

John Stuart Mill on liberty

Liberal feminism Mid 19th century: John Stuart Mill argued government should stay out of the private affairs of its citizens Personal “rights” should predominate over concerns for the social good: ‘An individual is allowed to do what they wish, provided it does not harm others’ Therefore, the social roles of women (eg: ‘house wife’) should not be influenced by what a government or an ideology requires of them

Marxism: A conservative view

Marxist feminists Marxism focuses on how the material and economic aspects of life influence the social world: Criticises capitalism for its construction of social class Traditionally this applies to rich (bourgeois) and poor (proletariat) Marxist feminists argue that in capitalist system domestic work is trivialised and not seen as ‘real’ work Women were oppressed while men were free to negotiate the world of ‘real’ work Marxist feminists view the capitalist drive for profits as responsible for women's second-class status Engels argued that monogamous marriage has nothing to do with love and everything to do with private property He wrote that if women are to be truly free from men, they must be economically independent.

Accomplished feminist perspectives: 1974
