"...in Fortunes of Feminism, Nancy Fraser looks back at the history of second-wave feminism while being, at the same time, a prominent second-wave feminist and a prominent member of the Frankfurt School’s third generation. She has a somewhat easier time than Horkheimer and Adorno. When they began their work, they had long ago given up on the proletariat revolution that Marx had predicted. Not only had the European working class failed to execute their “historic task” of ushering in socialism, many were rapidly becoming fascists. Much of the Frankfurt School’s initial efforts, then, were spent deriving the position from which a critical theory of society was at all possible."
