They criticized the concept of labour that was then commonly used in Marxism, they criticized value theory, views on domestic labour and the family, the way of dealing and interacting with each other and with the nature around us, on the economy and wars, visions of the future and the urge for liberation. The strength of Critique: Trajectories of Marxism–Feminism * They triggered passionate debates – their criticism wasn’t totally ignored. But the work they have carried out on an international scale is far from complete. For some decades feminist Marxist debates subsided because neoliberalism, stumbling from one crisis to another, had brought other issues into focus. In March 2015, we intend to pick up the threads. Many of those voices – and many who have since joined – will come together at a congress in order to investigate what has been left undone. We will discuss successes and defeats as well as new projects with the intention of finding out together what has been gained so far, what we need to continue working on, what new issues are on the agenda, and how we can bundle our energies to achieve worldwide resonance to our demand to intervene. What remains as fundamental as almost half a century ago is that socialist feminists join forces internationally. * Participants among others: Erica Burman (England), Cynthia Cockburn (England), Helen Colley (Canada), Gabriele Dietrich (Indien), Hester Eisenstein (USA), Zillah Eisenstein (USA), Tucker Pamela Farley (USA), Ann Ferguson (USA), Harriet Fraad (USA), Barbara Fried (Deutschland), Catherine Hoskyns (England), Montserrat Galceran Huguet (Spanien), Martha Gimenez (USA), Heidi Hartmann (USA), Frigga Haug (Deutschland), Katja Kipping (Deutschland), Ece Kocabicak (England/Türkei), Karen Kramer (Deutschland/USA), Birge Krondorfer (Österreich), Elisabeth List (Österreich), Ruth May (Deutschland), Shahrzad Mojab (Canada), Mechthild Nagel (USA), Shirin Rai (England), Nora Räthzel (Schweden), Adrienne Roberts (England), Saskia Sassen (USA), Veronika Schild (Canada/Chile), Sarah Schulman (USA), Terri Seddon (Australien), Lynne Segal (England), Tove Soiland (Schweiz), Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak (USA/Indien), Daniela Tepe-Belfrage (England), Lise Vogel (USA), Katharina Volk (Deutschland), Gabriele Winker (Deutschland), Uta von Winterfeld (Deutschland), Nira Yuval-Davis (England).
