Beschreibungen/Notizen
The term 'housework' is striking by its absence from the analysis of J. Mitchell (Woman's Estate, New York, 1973), which ultimately relies on the categories of productive & nonproductive labor. In fact, housework is one form of the exploitation of women, but one not well understandable through the category of 'surplus value'. Women are engaged, according to U. Prokop's analysis, (an abstract of which appears in this section), in the production of social relations & human labor. This form of production both maintains capitalist society & provides an experience of life outside the categories of capitalist society. This incorporation of housework in the category of 'production' helps show that feminist issues are not simply superstructural. Both radical feminist groups, which take men as timelessly attached to oppressive roles, & socialist movements, which seek simply to give women 'equality before the law', fail to understand the full significance of feminist issues. Prokop's analysis fails to provide strategies, but does point the way toward a society in which both home & factory production are collectively determined & in which responsibility for these spheres is not determined by sex.
