FROM "THE SOCIOLOGY OF WOMEN" BY JANE C. OLLENBURGERheathermorenoNovember 30 2008, 06:15:38 UTC
"The conflict theorists have suggested a range of possible explanations for the origin and maintenance of economic inequality for women. Important frameworks are offered by the Marxist and socialist feminists. The original Marxian hypothesis of the division of society into the major social classes of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat provides an interesting baseline for assessing this inequality. Women are potential members of either the ruling or working class by means of birth, marriage, or individual effort. Socialist feminists have revised some of the early models proposed by Marx and Engels to include the effects of patriarchy and to account for more contemporary structures of the labor market."
