About this audiobook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Until a certain level of evolution has been reached and technology has developed, to question fundamental biological conditions is insanity. But for the first time in some countries, the preconditions for feminist revolution exist. #2 The theory of historical materialism was not the complete answer, as later events proved. While it was a brilliant advance over previous historical analysis, it was only a partial reality. It traced the class conflict to its real economic origins, but it did not explain how those origins could be changed. #3 The assumption that, beneath economics, reality is psycho-sexual is often rejected as ahistorical by those who accept a dialectical materialist view of history. But there is still an untried third alternative: we can attempt to develop a materialist view of history based on sex itself. #4 The sex dualism is the result of the reproductive functions of men and women being different. The biological family is an inherently unequal power distribution.
