'Compelling . a classic socialist feminist text' - Kate Hardy, Feminist Review
'Ground-breaking exploration of the connection between social revolution and women's liberation from "a key figure of the second wave' - Melissa Benn, Guardian.
In Women, Resistance and Revolution, Sheila Rowbotham traces four centuries of fem-inist struggle and revolutionary politics. She reveals how women have confronted the dual challenges of an unjust state system and patriarchal social prejudice. First published in 1972, Women, Resistance and Revolution is a major statement of second-wave feminism on the need for revolution within the revolution. It is also a rich and expansive history of radical consciousness.
Rowbotham charts the acceleration of feminist activity and theory after the French Revolution, despite the ambiguities of 'liberty, equality, fraternity' for women. Sheexamines pivotal works such as Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights ofWoman, Flora Tristan's Workers' Union and Engels's Origin of the Family, showing how women's liberation became a live and often explosive issue in emerging social-ist movements. Her narrative spans feminist currents in revolutionary Russia and China, exploring fascinating creative experiments during early Bolshevik rule, and extends to women's roles in anti-colonial struggles in Algeria, Cuba and Vietnam.
This classic work remains as urgent, vivid and inspiring as ever.
