'Smith College students can take a course on “Marxist Feminism” in the spring semester as part of the school’s Program for the Study of Women, Gender & Sexuality. Smith College is a private women’s liberal arts college in western Massachusetts.

According to the course description, Marxist feminism begins with the “simple insight” that “capitalism relies on the class politics of unpaid, reproductive ‘women’s work.’” Based on this understanding, Marxist feminists have combatted systems of power and oppression, including “patriarchy, slavery, feudalism and colonialism.”'
