Abstract
Contemporary feminism faces a dual challenge from neoliberal and neoconservative ideologies, both of which reinforce traditional family structures. This crisis manifests in gender divisions from identity politics, the obscuring of capitalist critique through commercialization, and the instrumentalization of feminism in politics. The authors advocate a return to Marxist thought, arguing that women's liberation is fundamentally linked to class struggle and the overcoming of capitalism.
