Abstract
This article is a brief reflection after the Rethinking Marxism conference book session on Class Struggle on the Home Front: Work, Conflict and Exploitation in the Household, edited by Graham Cassano (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009). Domestic labor has long been a major concern for feminist scholars seeking to understand both the causes of women's subordination and the collective well-being of industrialized societies. The importance of this essay collection lies in its use of New Marxian Class Analysis to consider persistent themes in feminist theory: the valorization of women's household labor, migration and labor market hierarchies, and the role of women's participation in the paid labor force.
