Effi Priest’s Reviews > Feminism Against Progress > Status Update

Interesting thesis that „the story of feminism is one of economic transitions - and particularly of the Industrial Revolution“. Robust materialist analysis so far, dismantles some of feminism’s own ideologies as well as systematic blind spots concerning mothers. Shows forgotten (glossed over) historic positions of feminism that contradict mainstream feminism’s overarching narrative of history.

Excited for her argument that the ultimate freedom/autonomy we’re seemingly striving for leads into a „cyborg future“propelled by „a commercially driven effort to deregulate all of human nature which will enslave our minds in digital fantasies even as it monetises our bodies via biotech“.This comes„dresse[d] in feminist garb“when in reality it disadvantages lower classes+„those who have to stay embodied“-like mothers
