Many Marxist feminist scholars, in the vein of an analyzing modes of oppression at the site of production, note the effect that housework has on women in a capitalist system. In Angela Davis' Women, Race and Class, the concept of housework is to deconstruct the capitalist construct of gendered labor within the home and to show the ways in which women are exploited through "domestic slavery." To address this, Davis concludes that the "socialisation of housework – including meal preparation and child care – presupposes an end to the profit-motive’s reign over the economy." In this manner, domestic slavery upholds the structural inequities faced by women in all capitalist economies.
