Her mother Claire Southern was a young heroin addict who neglected Sadie. Sadie grew up in the poverty-stricken town of Cold Creek, Colorado and shares heart-wrenching memories of her life.

This review will argue that while Vogel convincingly argues against the theoretical dualism of socialist feminists and rightly sets out to construct a unitary theory of women’s oppression, she fails to to fully extricate herself from the limitations of socialist feminist approaches. Vogel presents a persuasive materialist analysis of women’s oppression under capitalism, but her text suffers from a few minor faults. At the core of Vogel’s original text is an important argument that women’s social position can only be made sense of through analysing the social relations of exploitation and, specifically, the unique role of women and childbirth in reproducing the conditions that enable exploitation. 1 The reissuing of Lise Vogel’s work, originally published in 1983, though largely neglected at that time, is a welcome contribution to current debates. Growing anger and activism around the issue of women’s oppression have seen the return of many arguments from the 1970s and 1980s regarding the usefulness or otherwise of Marxist analysis in exploring this oppression.
