Abstract:The division of labor by gender is a fundamental theoretical issue in the study of Marxist theory and is closely related to social class relations. The changes in history and reality are the basic conditions for promoting gender equality in the division of labor, and the social status of women is often regarded as the touchstone for measuring whether an era is civilized. Accordingly, from the perspective of historical materialism, this study examines the history of human society centered on capitalist society and reflects on the historical development process of gender division of labor. In this vein, this paper conducts a realistic analysis of the predicament of women in the gender division of labor to reveal their manifestations such as being in a socially subordinate position in the gender division of labor, having a rigid division of labor model, and being in a disadvantaged situation in reality. Likewise, this paper explores the feasibility of optimizing the gender division of labor in modern society, and attempts to construct a new gender division of labor system in aspects such as science and technology, new family culture, and the status of social subjects. In this sense, this study via the triple analysis of gender division of labor, has bridged the textual theory to reality, and has applied the core principles of historical materialism to analyze and transform the social phenomena arising from the logic of Capital-Profit. Through this approach, this paper attempts to seek a path to human liberation as well as the free and all-round development of human beings.
