Class and gender are two fundamental dimensions of social inequality that shape the distribution of power, resources, opportunities, and life chances in society. While class refers to the economic position of individuals or groups based on wealth, occupation, income, and ownership of resources, gender refers to the socially and culturally constructed roles, expectations, and identities associated with being male, female, or other gender identities. The relationship between class and gender is dynamic and interconnected, as both influence each other in producing patterns of privilege and disadvantage. Sociologists and feminist scholars argue that class and gender cannot be understood in isolation because economic inequality is often reinforced by gender discrimination. Women and men belonging to different social classes experience unequal access to education, healthcare, employment, political participation, and social mobility. Thus, class and gender jointly determine an individual's social status and opportunities. Karl Marx emphasized class as the primary basis of exploitation under capitalism, where the bourgeoisie controlled the means of production and exploited the working class. Although Marx focused mainly on economic class, later Marxist feminists argued that women experience a double burden. Working-class women are exploited both as wage laborers in the capitalist economy and as unpaid caregivers within the family. Their domestic labor contributes to the reproduction of the labor force without economic recognition. Max Weber expanded the concept of class by including status and power. According to Weber, gender influences an individual's social status and access to authority. Women, especially from lower classes, often occupy low-status occupations with limited decision-making power. Gender discrimination intersects with class inequality, restricting upward mobility. Feminist theories have further explained the relationship between class and gender. Liberal feminists focus on equal opportunities in education and employment,
