Beskrivning
The Evolution of Socialist Feminism from Eleanor Marx to AOC traces the intersection of feminism and socialism as it has played out in the socialist movements arising in Europe and North America in the nineteenth through early twenty-first centuries.From well-known figures in the history of socialism, such as Rosa Luxemburg, Sylvia Pankhurst, and Angela Davis, to lesser-known individuals including Claudia Jones, Sheila Rowbotham, and Zillah Eisenstein, this book examines the socialist feminists who have been among the most powerful voices insisting on freedom of expression and participatory democracy within the socialist movement as well as within the larger society. It considers how these figures contributed to what has become a twenty-first-century multiracial grassroots socialist feminist movement led by young women of color, playing a major role in radical movements across the globe.The Evolution of Socialist Feminism from Eleanor Marx to AOC is an important text for undergraduate students of politics, sociology, and gender studies, as well as for the general reader.

Recensioner i media

"This inspired book traces the origins and history of socialist feminism through the important visions and contributions of twelve amazing activists who influenced movements across Europe and the US. Although their stories have been told before, never have they been put in conversation with one another to chronicle the influential analysis and politics that shaped socialist feminist movements over a century. The Evolution of Socialist Feminism from Eleanor Marx to AOC is a significant addition to the feminist archive and a valuable resource for those teaching courses in social movements, women’s activism, and feminist theory, among others in WGSS and related fields. It is also an important text for young activists wanting to learn more about the feminist foremothers who helped shape, and continue to influence contemporary feminist politics."Nancy Naples, Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Connecticut, USA
