Notes
Marlene Dixon, professor in human development and sociology at the University of Chicago and later at McGill University, centered her work and political activism on Marxism and feminism. In this lecture, Dixon traces the history of feminism in the United States through the development of the women's liberation movement in the late 1960s and asserts that the oldest form of human exploitation is that of women by men.
