Women, Class, and the Feminist Imagination

A Socialist-Feminist Reader

Edited by Karen V. Hansen, and Ilene J. Philipson

This anthology gathers the past decade’s most thought-provoking and self-reflective articles written from a socialist-feminist perspective. It includes contemporary "classics" on socialist feminism by Juliet Mitchell, Gayle Rubin, Zillah Eisenstein, and Heidi I. Hartmann; reflections on the movement itself; and discussions on such issues as sexuality and pornography, work and the labor movement, and the viability of socialist feminist strategies in a liberal world.

Reviews

"The most thought-provoking articles on socialist-feminism written over the last 25 years. Covering an impressive array of topics from patriarchy to pornography, the book provides a valuable commentary worthy of continuing study and critique."
—New Directions for Women
