Marxist feminism is a type of feminism that sees gender oppression as a type of class oppression; gender is one of the classes, like race, that are used by capitalists to maintain a capitalistic system. Abolishment of capitalism will, perforce, bring about abolition of sexism, racism, etc. Marxist feminist analysis often focuses on the gender oppression wrought by capitalism.
