A radical update of Men, Women, and Chainsaws Intervenes in a mainstream and academic discussion on social reproduction: Some of the most important and popular works of feminist theory currently circulating are concerned with social reproduction. Works by Kathi Weeks, Tithi Battacharya, Cinzia Arruzza, Sophie Lewis, Melinda Cooper, Jenny Brown, and others have not only revivified conversations and debates in academia but have reached popular audiences and inspired mass movements such as the International Women’s Strike. Connects feminist theory and cultural analysis: There is a great hunger for politicized cultural analysis as demonstrated by the thousands of people who regularly read Blind Field, a journal of Marxist feminist cultural co-created by Isaacson. **This book is the first to combine an explanation of social reproduction with an analysis of contemporary horror films.**A sharp increase in smart, politically critical, feminist horror films in the last decade and feminist horror films have achieved wide popularity. For example, memes from films like Get Out, Hereditary, and The Babadook have become popular ways to telegraph political commentary and jokes.
