        I have long criticized Marxism for ignoring psychology (though such
        worthies as Wilhelm Reich and Herbert Marcuse should be mentioned).

CB: Yes, and Eli Zaretsky's _Capitalism, the Family and Personal Life_.

To the extent that Marxist feminists engage the "personal is political"
motto, they start down the road to a Marxist psychology, as Marxism must see
individual consciousness as made in caring and reproductive labor, which is
done predominantly by women.
