    Dual system feminism combines radical feminism and Marxism, seeing capitalism and patriarchy as interacting systems that reinforce one another as "patriarchal capitalism". This subjects women to dual roles as homemakers and paid workers. It also argues patriarchal and capitalist structures relate to class and ethnic inequalities, generating multiple causes for women's subordination. Dual system feminism believes removing patriarchy and capitalism through reform could improve women's positions by tackling patriarchy in private relationships and public spheres like the workplace.

    Dual System Feminism

    Combines features from radical feminism and Marxism.

    Capitalism and patriarchy are seen as two separate systems that interact with and
    reinforce one another in the form of 'PATRIARCHAL CAPITALISM'. This generates
    dual roles for women, both as home makers and as paid workers. 

    Patriarchal and capitalist structures also relate to other factors such as CLASS and
    ETHNIC inequalities to generate multiple causes for the subordination of women.

    Believe that by removing the twin structures of patriarchy and capitalism through
    reform would bring about improvements in the position of women. 

    Includes tackling the partriarchal nature of relationships in the private sphere (at
    home, in the family) and the patriarchal capitalist exploitation of women in the public
    sphere (labour market, business, govt., media).
