Introduction
The range of ideologies, political movements and social rules and regulations that has the primary motive to establish the equa
lity of sexes personally, economically as well as socially is known as Feminism. The basic aim of feminism is to curb the unfair treatments on the females of the society and focus on the rules and regulations that treat males and females with the same priorities. Feminism movements are incorporated to fight against gender stereotypes and establish equal educational and professional opportunities for women as that of men across the world.
Marxist Criminology is a criminology school that has its focus on the stability of the society adopting political philosophy. It deals with the key points about why things changes, the forces that divides society by wealth prestige and power. It also proves that the present structural and social environments give birth to crimes and similar conditions. Karl Marx claimed through the law that one social class, which is generally termed as the 'Ruling Class' or 'The Upper Class' generally tends to keep the all other classes suppressed under them at a position, which is disadvantageous. So a Marxist lens is used by this class through which criminalization process is considered which proves the deviant nature of some acts over the others. It is agreed by many criminologists that for the efficient functioning of a society, the initialization of social order through socialization process is extremely necessary.
Marxist Feminism has given rise to certain dilemmas and topics for discussion. In this article, we shall discuss the various effects of Marxist Feminism and the various impacts it has had on the society.
Basic Classification of Feminism
Feminist movements mainly looks after women's rights, so that like men they can also get the rights to vote, can work and earn fair and equal wages, get equal salary, and also make sure that there aren't any gender issues involved in the pay gap. As opined by Black (2019),in the village areas, they focus on the receiving of proper education of the girls and voices protests against early marriages. Many scholars think that feminist's campaigns were mainly responsible behind the historical changes of the society and woman empowerment particularly in the western countries, which were male, dominated at that time. Feminism can be classified mainly into three types, which are mainly gender reform feminism, gender resistant feminism and gender revolution feminism.
Gender reform feminism mainly looks after the rights of individuals; gender resistant feminism focuses on the specific behaviors and group dynamics and establishes equality in positions. Gender revolution feminism resists the social order through its fundamentals and principles and looks after cultural reproduction. Feminism from the very beginning faced many resistances and is still now facing many. According to many feminist ideas created collaborations of feminist ideas created collaborations of feminist subdivisions. Topic of debate as it is, it has often been argued that men and women occupying same position in the society is a tough job. This patriarchal mindset is the result of failure of various movements that aimed to have feminism. Marxist Feminism has given rise to a number of such loopholes that need to be amended in order to establish a sound society as aimed by the definition of feminism
The Historical Role of the Women in the Society
Throughout ages women have been a victim of oppressions, deprived from rights, and subjection to violence and throughout the pages of history the rights for women rose and fell, however they fought against the oppressions on an individual basis through ages. Different religions also played a major role in keeping women oppressed, treating them as sinful, sexual, evil property of men. In the early 1800s with the rise of capitalism, the law had been passed to uphold the rights of the men over women. The law of women being a property was passed from father to the husband in the mid of the 19th century. Women's Property Act (VIC) of 1883 first said that women could hold property, be liable for debts if required and look after the children, but before that, they were unable to own and get hereditary properties.
The first wave of Feminism came around (1848 - 1940), where the rights of the women to vote for the government or holding own property came into the scenes. There were also fights for the rights to education, divorces, and looking after children for the women even to stand and fight in the elections.
The second wave of Feminism came around (1960 - 1970), where many women had been the part of other anti war and civil rights movement. This led to the formation of the women's liberation movement, which had its origin mainly in the United States. This wave of feminism noted that throughout history men also got more opportunities and freedom than women did. They thought the society as 'patriarchal'. In this period of time adequate focus were made on the structural inequality and social transformation irrespective of sexes, the first...
