A landmark work in second-wave feminist theory, Woman's Estate by Juliet Mitchell presents a rigorous and incisive analysis of the Women's Liberation Movement as it emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Mitchell argues that women's oppression cannot be understood through a single lens, instead detailing how four key structures — production, reproduction, sexuality, and the socialisation of children — combine to sustain patriarchal society. Drawing on Marxist and psychoanalytic frameworks, the text challenges both the mainstream left and liberal feminism, calling for a more radical and theoretically grounded politics of liberation. Written with intellectual precision yet urgent political conviction, the work remains a vital document in the history of feminist thought and continues to resonate in contemporary debates about gender and power.
