Answer 1

I wish I could give you more. You seem to have the publication date wrong by the way.

The views of Marx and Engels are reflected in the work of Eli Zaretsky, in Capitalism, the Family and Personal Life (1976). Here, Zaretsky argues that the family is unable to provide the support needed to allow the proletariat to cope with the brutal pressures of capitalism. Moreover, he criticises the family as a means of propping up capitalism by providing unpaid female domestic labour.
