The Last Colony: Women

Capitalism is not built solely on the exploitation of labor; It has changed the nature of labor, made it subject to itself, and constantly reshaped this relationship of subordination in a crude manner. This is a formation determined by the transformation of not only women's labor but also nature by a male mind. Undoubtedly, the exploitation of women's labor involves more than mere labor exploitation within the capitalist relationship network. However, of course, there is nothing to deny about political economy, which is intimately involved with gender politics and embraces the selfish face of patriarchy. For this reason, women's labor must be reconsidered within the capitalist exchange relations that have spread from metropolises to the Third World by changing form and content, discovering women's resistance mechanisms and taking precautions against them. The Last Colony: Women offers a rich discussion about both the expectations and regulations of the capitalist mentality world and how this economic system is naturalized by the male mind. This book, considered among the important resources in its field, reveals the transfers from the world's metropolises to the Third World and with which economic rationales similar gender policies are integrated. However, here is not only a poem based on the story of the victims, but also the story of how women resisted policies against women and how they discovered new means of struggle. The Last Colony: Women offers a striking depiction of how capitalism transforms the proletariat into a new identity; It shows how Third World women are not just passive victims integrated into the world economy, but also develop highly creative forms of resistance.
