Recommendation needed: stepmom (white, wine, moderate liberal, gen x) suddenly started asking me about Marxism today. She absolutely considers herself a feminist, and I think I can get her to read one book. Any marxist-feminist works out there that would resonate with her that maybe aren't as racially focused as Angela Davis's stuff? She's smart enough to understand whatever I throw at her, just sort of stubborn in her ways. Raised very conservative.
Maybe check out Nancy Fraser? I haven’t personally read her yet, but she was interviewed on The Dig and I thought she was really interesting. This has been on my list for a while now: https://www.versobooks.com/books/3142-fortunes-of-feminism
I think any book of theory as a single item is a big pull.
I myslef have been looking for the hary potter of class analysis. I think it is only now that we are seeing people start the process lf making those works though. I mean, there had to have been some made back in the 70s but I dont know about them. The 70s westworld parody porn has some shockingly good bits about race and class analysis but that is a niche object.
I honestly think something like parasite or snowpiercer demonstrating the class analysis is the first step. I don't think I have anything specific to offer in that reguard though. I keep meaning to go through orb moms work because I am sure there is something there that checks the boxes

Nancy Fraser is great, had a cool conversation with her and the Marxist Education Project. There's also Nancy Holstrum.
