Abstract

Arguing that the sexist content of economic theory with holds ideological weapons from women's struggles, this paper offers a set of lessons for undergraduate courses that speak to women's experience. Using Marxist methods, the lessons address the household as an econ omic institution, structure change under capitalism, consumer theory, market analysis and marginal productivity and income distribution theory. Examples attack neoclassical arguments such as "legalization will produce more and better prostitutes." The paper concludes with political suggestions for extending feminist teaching and bringing political econ omy to women.
