What is lise vogel?

Lise Vogel (1942-2019) was a feminist theorist, historian, and activist who contributed significantly to feminist scholarship and the socialist feminist movement. She earned her PhD in History from the University of California, Berkeley in 1975. Her doctoral dissertation, "Marxism and the Oppression of Women," was a groundbreaking work that helped to establish the field of socialist feminist theory. In it, she argued that a Marxist analysis of class oppression was incomplete without an understanding of how gender oppression operates within capitalist societies.

Vogel was active in the socialist feminist movement throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and was a member of the National Executive Committee of the Socialist Workers Party in the United States. She was also a founding member of the International Socialist Feminist Network. In addition to her academic and political work, Vogel was an advocate of left-wing internationalism and was involved in various anti-imperialist struggles.

Some of her most influential works include "Feminism and Anti-Imperialism" (1983), "Still Separate and Still Unequal: The Limits of Socialism and Feminism in the US" (1983), and "Thinking Back: A Personal Account of Life in the Women's Movement" (2002). She was a professor of Sociology at Rider University in New Jersey from 1999 until her retirement in 2012. Lise Vogel passed away in 2019 at the age of 76.
