The Misogyny of Left-Wing Movements

Left-wing movements fight for equality solidarity and emancipation-yet often overlook the fact that they themselves perpetuate patriarchal structures. This book examines how misogyny operates in left-wing contexts where it is suppressed and why it is so difficult to recognize.From Marx to #MeTooLeft from party politics to digital discourse the analysis shows that Even in progressive circles power morality and gender interact in complex ways. Feminist thinkers such as Federici Butler Fraser and Hooks provide the theoretical key to exposing the blind spot of the left.An astute courageous and necessary book about self-deception morality and the question of whether the left truly lives up to its own ideals.Bremen University Press has published over 5000 specialist books in various languages since 2005.
