Marxist feminism is the analysis of women's exploitation through the historical materialist framework. Marxist feminists uphold that capitalism is the ultimate cause of women's oppression and over-exploitation.[1]
Marxist feminist scholars include Silvia Federici, Angela Davis, Clara Zetkin, Alexandra Kollontai, and many others.
