Socialist Education Project webinar

CCDS Socialist Education Project Webinar: Celebrating Women’s History Month (March 25, 9-10:30 pm (eastern time) — 6-7:30 pm (pacific time)

“Marxist Feminism for a Global Women’s Movement against Capitalism”, presentation by Ligaya McGovern

“Challenges of today for inner city women in Chicago”, proposed topic for presentation by Mildred Williamson

Global neoliberal capitalism challenges the women’s movement, it divides women by class, and men and women based on gender and class. Ligaya will suggest that the Marxist Feminist frame can analyze the global exploitation of women by neoliberalism and help shape the resistance of transnational women’s movements. Examples are the peasant women’s movement, the militant movement in the Philippines, the International Women’s Alliance, and the migrant domestic workers.

Mildred will address the devastating impact on Trump administration policies in Chicago, with a focus on healthcare and women’s issues
