Thirty years have passed since the heyday of the women's liberation movement, yet women remain without equal rights while feminist thought has shifted steadily rightward. This fully updated collection of essays examines these issues from a Marxist perspective, focused on both gender and class, with a new chapter on the stirrings of a new movement today. Sharon Smithis the author of Subterranean Fire, also published by Haymarket Books, as well as many articles on women's liberation and the US working class. Her writings appear regularly in Socialist Workernewspaper and the International Socialist Review.
