Katharina Volk, in her theoretical and methodological study anchored in historical materialism, aims to revive feminist critique of the concept of society and search for ideas for a ‘good life’. To this end, she systematically analyzes selected nineteenth and late twentieth-century theories, which deal with the relationship of work and domestic- and care-work in capitalist patriarchy and embeds them in their respective social and political contexts. The careful, sometimes lengthy reconstructions are reminiscent of long-forgotten analyses and criticisms of the connection between the question of women and the social question and provide impulses for contemporary intersectional social theories.
