Gender issues are foregrounded in all of Sahar Khalifeh's novels, and The Inheritance is no exception. What sets Khalifeh apart from some other declared feminists is that in her writing, women's liberation is consistently situatedwithin the parameters of overall social and political development. Advancing women's status is posited as a process of making social relations more democratic in all fields, from the family and education to government. This is arguably a process that would benefit men as well as women and children.

This chapter argues that the television programs Family Ties and The Wonder Years advanced the neoconservative politics of the eighties even as they appeared to evince halting nostalgia for sixties-era dissent. The caricature of the hippie-turned-yuppie in eighties era television teaches viewers that radical beliefs, countercultural lifestyles, and women’s liberation were forms of youthful indiscretion that the baby boomer generation learned to outgrow. These programs recentered the family as the site of individual agency and moral activism, giving televisual form to the ideas undergirding neoliberalism and postfeminism.

In the late 1960s, the North American women's liberation movement was reaching a highpoint of activity, its militancy complemented by a flourishing literature. This was the environment into which Margaret Benston's 1969 Monthly Review essay, "The Political Economy of Women's Liberation," struck like a lightning bolt. At the time, many in the movement were describing women's situation in terms of sociological roles, functions, and structures—reproduction, socialization, psychology, sexuality, and the like. In contrast, Benston proposed an analysis in Marxist terms of women's unpaid labor in the family household. In this way, she definitively shifted the framework for discussion of women's oppression onto the terrain of Marxist political economy.

Women's position in society is determined by three interrelated factors: production, reproduction, and psychodynamics. A change in one area without changes in the others will not necessarily benefit women. It is important to develop a theory of how women's inferior status is maintained, so that the desired result can be obtained from a program or action. This paper is a contribution to such a theory. It offers a materialist explanation of women's status and explores the principles that should inform feminist theory and practice in relation to the restructuring of work. Due to the interrelated sources of women's status, feminist demands in relation to work must go beyond equal opportunity and equal pay for equal work. A Utopian future in which feminist values are fully integrated into social relations and institutions will be projected. The analysis, while informed by ideal principles, has practical implications and political consequences.

Mexican Migrant

Work and health conditions of an undocumented Mexican migrant population in southern Illinois influence women's status within the family. The conditions threaten the physical and economic survival of the entire family, but pose special challenges to women who are dependent upon men and subordinated within the male/female relationship, even when they assume roles that are indispensable to the family, and that contradict the culturally ideal gender hierarchy. These contradictory roles fail to change the hierarchical ideology. Gender structure is shown to be dichotomous, consisting of behavior and ideology, which are differentially affected by the surrounding conditions. Additionally, men's and women's interpretations of ideology differ, as shaped by their respective experiences within the local context. Gender structure is shown to result from the undocumented family's adaptation to its surrounding conditions.
