Shulamith Firestone, writing in The Dialectic of Sex. NY: Morrow 1970. She has a section on love, which makes some bio-essentialist arguments about the differences between the sexes. Firestone tends to see the condition of being in (or "falling in") love strictly as the fallout from ideology, strictly as the emotional exploitation of females by males, who do not love as women do.
