Maria Mies, born in 1931, is one of the main feminist theorists in the use of critical categories of capitalist political economy when analyzing patriarchy. Professor of sociology in Cologne (Germany) and at the Institute of Social Studies in The Hague (Holland), Mies spent a good number of years of his life in India, where he was able to expand his perspective on the relations between patriarchy and capitalism. As soon as his work is translated into Spanish, Patriarchate and accumulation on a world scale is considered as his main contribution to this line of feminist criticism that has Silvia Federici, Selma James and Mariarosa Dalla Costa among its main references.
