 * Post 1970 the socialist feminist party grew in many ways in expanding.
 * In Feminism in the Nineteenth Century (cite book) by AUTHOR, social feminism is defined as “women who saw the root of sexual oppression in the existence of private property and who envisioned a radically transformed society in which man would exploit neither man nor women” The equality described has to do with a transformed society in which both sexes are equal and given the same opportunities despite any physiological differences. Going forward it is described to need a total change in both the economic and social system to create the lasting improvement that the socialist feminism movement is looking for.


 * Donna haraway and cyborg manifesto
 * Donna Haraway is the author of A Cyborg Manifesto (citation) and it describes a dystopian future in which cyborgs represent the ideal way society would treat people in fixing the way society separates people by gender, race and religion.  In her extensive manifesto written in 1991, Haraway explains about a political myth as a “cyborg” who represents the ideal way someone would be treated in society. Haraway’s manifesto describes the cyborg as “A cybernetic organism, a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction. Social reality is lived social relations, our most important political construction, a world-changing fiction. The international women's movements have constructed 'women's experience', as well as uncovered or discovered this crucial collective object. This experience is a fiction and fact of the most crucial, political kind” Defined as a post-gender world, this cyborg represents the idea that there can by a dystopian future in which gender, religion and race are not dismissed but are not factors in how members of this society treat each other. This manifesto is consistently mentioning the idea of feminism and how feminists aren’t looking for more or less than men but to make the playing field equal. This also goes to the socialist feminism point that without a massive change in society the feminist won’t be able to get lasting change.
 * Gender pay gap
 * The gender pay gap is an issue that is especially prevalent in the United States.
 * In Feminist Policy and Human Nature, Allison Jagger describes the biological differences between women and men that would affect job performance namely “Most evidently, women’s reporductive functions may mean that women have needs for pregnancy leave, maternity services and arrangements for easy access totheir nursing babies.” (INSERT CITATION). This fact insists that it is not only important but it is necessary for the workplace to incorporate this fairly into contracts. Forcing women to take unpaid maternity leave goes into the issue of the gender wage gap since women have reproductive needs that go far beyond men but are not compensated for that.
 * In looking at the amount of unpaid labor that women have worked over centuries is a major issue regarding unpaid labor in the house and in childcare. Women in capitalism are not compensated for their role in the household including housework, cooking, cleaning, childcare and the cost of carrying and delivering a child. “Contracts for husbands to pay their wives for domestic services have been found invalid by the courts. If housewives do not like the conditions of their work they are hardly free to move to another household; instead, they are tied by an elaborate legal contract which can only be broken on special grounds. Marriage is, in fact, a relation that is remarkably similar to the feudal relation of vassalage; it provides a means for exchanging support and protection from the husband in return for services and devotion from the wife.” The idea of a contract for husbands to pay their wives is an exaggerated circumstance yet for decades it was the expectation that the woman would be considered a housewife and the man would be the breadwinner and make decisions for the family. This idea of women's unpaid labor is more than simply the housework and childcare services; it's the fact that the labor housewives did was considered compulsory instead of labor. This is the type of thinking and mentality that the socialist feminism and women who want more of these
 * In 2017,  there was an international women's strike protesting the unfair treatment of women in today's society. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women's_Strike) The strike included over 50 countries and occurred on international women's day. The strikes in each country were focused on an injustice in that specific country. In the United States women protested by not working or spending money to show how much influence women have.
