Ensuring the recognition and value of women’s labor is essential for the feminist agendas, as they aim to dismantle the patriarchy and develop a new social structure that does not perpetuate an unjust system based on male-centric ideals. In order to achieve equality, it is crucial that the workplace undergoes a transformation. By employing a textual analysis methodology and relying on Axel Honneth’s recommendations, I suggest addressing this issue by examining how capitalism and socialism both presented deficiencies in fostering women’s well-being. Furthermore, certain exponents of second-wave feminism have presented a prejudiced (and negative) interpretation of private care labor, stating it is a constraint on women’s independence. It’s sufficient to say that this idea fails to accurately tackle the problem of human recognition. To have a more comprehensive grasp of how the revalorization of care work and love significantly contributes to women’s empowerment, it is necessary to reevaluate the criteria by which we measure women’s success. By examining Axel Honneth’s perspective on recognition, family, and love, we might discover new approaches to enhancing the empowerment and well-being of women in a more intricate and humane manner, similar to what is proposed by person-centered feminism.
