    • 1981 December 19, Nancy Wechsler, Christine Delphy, “Politics In France”, in Gay Community News, volume 9, number 22, page 8:
      It is not that the radical feminists are not interested in the workplace but that women from the left parties tackle the issue in a traditional way — like demanding equal payment for equal work. We thought that was absolutely insufficient. We focussed more on the wholeness of women's oppression and that if you don't first look at the role of women in the family, then you can't even understand, not to mention act upon, their underpayment at the workplace.
