Description:	It is striking how thoroughly the debates in socialist, Marxist, materialist, global, postcolonial and transnational feminism have bypassed studies of language and gender. From older theoretical debates about the unhappy marriage of feminism and Marxism and the relative significance of production and reproduction to newer debates about the relative value of affirmative action, comparable worth campaigns and stratified reproduction, from older debates about the value of household work to more recent discussions about the taylorization of work in cleaning agencies and transnational domestic labor migration, from discussions of the gender-segregation of work and the feminization of work in the service economy to the effects of structural adjustment, from what helps facilitate the emergence of feminist activism to debates about imperialism and colonialism and their effects on the elaboration of gender and sexual identities both in the colonies, the neocolonies and the metropole – much of this goes largely uncited, and unaddressed in the body of literature on language and gender, which is now about 30 years old.
