Series: Routledge Library Editions: Marriage

Despite the vast difference between first and third world societies, the subordination of women to men seems to be a universal fact. Originally published in 1984, the chapters in this book look specifically at the marital bond/contract, and locate the subordination of women in terms of that contract. Others examine the development and expansion of market relations and show how that affects marital relations, husbands’ control over wives, men’s over women.

Reviews for Of Marriage and the Market: Women's Subordination Internationally and its Lessons

Reviews for the 1984 edition: ‘An exciting and important contribution to the International Feminist Debate’ Judy Kimble, South ‘The articles are all closely argued, well researched and make the point very clearly that one dimensional explanations of women’s subordination are inadequate. With its extensive bibliography it will become a valuable resource for people working in this area and for women’s studies courses.’ Ros Morpeth, Spare Rib ‘Should appear high on lists of recommended reading for many years to come.’ Chris Middleton, Marxism Today
