Engels and Feminism

I listened to an interesting Start the Week on Monday. The programme can be listened to here. It features a discussion about Friedrich Engels which includes his experiences in Manchester (L&S students past and present will remember some key sites from the Manchester field trip). The key talking head on the subject is Tristram Hunt who also has an article in the Guardian today questioning Engels' approach to feminism and asking whether he is feminism's friend or foe. It makes for an interesting read and can be viewed here.
