Reviews

"Plaut and Anderson's book represents a significant contribution to and expansion of sociologists' understanding of Marx's support for women's liberation. . . . Marx's views regarding women's oppression in the bourgeois family are made poignantly clear." --Social Pathology

"This essay, expertly retranslated and intelligently introduced, confirms how far Marx's interests ranged beyond the problems of the proletariat and sheds new light on the young Marx--not the least on the self-aggressiveness of his own emotional life." --Louis Dupré, Yale University

"This unknown fragment of early Marx provides occasion for three engaging contributions: an introduction to Peuchet's pioneering text on suicide; provocative glosses on issues of self-destructiveness in Marx's biography; and a knowing recovery of Marx's views on gender and the family. Fascinating." --Donald N. Levine, University of Chicago
