This book offers a compelling introduction to the groundbreaking work of one of Germany’s most influential feminist and Marxist thinkers, Frigga Haug. For over five decades, Haug’s writings have shaped critical debates on gender, subjectivity, and social transformation, yet much of her work has remained inaccessible to English-speaking audiences - until now.This collection brings together a selection of her most thought-provoking essays, making her profound insights available to a wider readership. At the core of Haug’s intellectual and political practice is a radical insistence on the interplay between subjective experience and structural oppression. Her essays explore how the oppressed are often complicit in reproducing their own subjugation, while also offering a vision of transformation rooted in everyday life. Through her nuanced engagement with philosophy, sociology, psychoanalysis, and Marxism, Haug challenges readers to see theory and practice as inseparable, inviting them to rethink feminist politics and social change in the context of contemporary struggles.This volume is an essential resource for scholars, students, and critical thinkers in fields such as feminism, Marxism, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and social theory, and provides a rich and transformative perspective on the challenges of our time.

Expertly bookended by the editors' incisive introduction and a wide-ranging interview with Haug, these essays provide Anglophone readers with an essential introduction to her groundbreaking body of work. Essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary critical theory."Amy Allen, The Pennsylvania State University, USA.
