She goes on to deftly synthesize the work of Freud, Marx, de Beauvoir, and Engels to create a cogent argument for feminist revolution. Identifying women as a caste, she declares that they must seize the means of reproduction--for as long as women (and only women) are required to bear and rear children, they will be singled out as inferior. Ultimately she presents feminism as the key radical ideology, the missing link between Marx and Freud, uniting their visions of the political and the personal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the wake of recent headlines bemoaning women's squandered fertility and the ongoing debate over the appropriate role of genetics in the future of humanity, \u003ci\u003eThe Dialectic of Sex\u003c\/i\u003e is revealed as remarkably relevant to today's society--a testament to Shulamith Firestone's startlingly prescient vision.
