Marxist Feminists
Women have always been deprived of private property and this means that they have been oppressed by property owners throughout history
Modern Marxist feminists take a similar view to the one above BUT they criticise Engels for overstressing the importance of property. In modern society, many women own property but their oppression has not ceased as women still remain an exploited part of the workforce
As capitalism developed and needed increasing quantities of workers, women became a vital source of available low-paid labour. Their lack of property increasingly forced them into paid employment

Socialist feminists have rejected the idea that class is the only schism within society that has any meaning. They argue that both class and patriarchy are sources of oppression
- socialist feminists tend to focus on the plight of working class women
