Margaret Benston obtained an undergraduate degree in chemistry and philosophy and a PhD in theoretical chemistry from the University of Washington in 1964.〔 Following this, she worked as a post-doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin.〔 Benston joined Simon Fraser University as a charter faculty member in 1966 in the Department of Chemistry. She was one of the founders of Women's Studies program in the mid-1970s, and taught in the program part-time. Best known for articles such as "Infrared Spectroscopy" in ''The Annual Review of Physical Chemistry'' and "New Force Theorem" in ''The Journal of Chemistry and Physics,'' Benston continued as a practicing scientist throughout her life, but also went on to be more involved in feminism and activism.〔 Her 1969 essay, ''The Political Economy of Women's Liberation'', was one of the first Marxist feminist critiques from a Canadian perspective. This article helped establish the framework for much of the feminist debates in the 1970s, as it was one of the first to use a Marxist parameter to explain the oppression of women.〔 The article was later reproduced in books such as ''Liberation Now? Women in a Made-Made World'' and ''Feminist Frameworks'', it was also translated into Spanish, French, Italian, Swedish, German, and Japanese.
In the 1980s, Benston became interested in computer science. She switched fields and received a joint appointment in the Women's Studies and Computing Science departments. Thereafter she explored the relationship between computerization, women, and work.
Benston was the first to argue that women formed a reserve army of labour, a group that could be manipulated in a certain way because women are responsible for the reproduction of labour power.〔 She argued that women's domestic and wage labour were essential to the flow of capitalist production and that women could not be fully integrated into wage labour without a full transformation in both of the forms of labour, which ultimately would mean a transformation of capitalism.〔 In turn, this created the view that women form a class because of their domestic labour, this became known internationally as the domestic labour debate.〔
