Womens Estate

Women’s Estate (1971) by Juliet Mitchell – Sold by Crappy Old Books

Radical, razor-sharp, and gloriously seventies, Women’s Estate by Juliet Mitchell is a Pelican Original that took feminist theory by the scruff of the neck and gave it a good Marxist shake. First published in 1971, this punchy little manifesto dissects the status of women in capitalist society with clarity, conviction, and not a whiff of compromise.

Drawing on Marx, Freud, and the political upheavals of the late 1960s, Mitchell lays out a four-fold model of female oppression—production, reproduction, sexuality, and socialisation—that still rings disarmingly true decades on. Whether you’re brushing up on second-wave feminism or just enjoy watching intellectual orthodoxy get politely demolished, this book delivers.

Condition: Slightly yellowed, moderately dog-eared, and fully ready to radicalise your bookshelf. May contain traces of undergraduate angst.
