"A valuable and uncommon perspective . . . The book covers both
theory of women's oppression and the history and politics of women's
movements." —Dana L. Cloud, author of Reality Bites More than forty
years after the women's liberation movement of the 1960s, women remain
without equal rights. If anything, each decade that has passed without
a fighting women's movement has seen a rise in blatant sexism and the
further erosion of the gains that were won in the 1960s and 1970s. Yet
liberal feminist organizations have followed the Democratic Party even
as it has continually tacked rightward since the 1980s. This fully
revised edition examines these issues from a Marxist perspective,
focusing on the centrality of race and class. It includes chapters on
the legacy of Black feminism and other movements of women of color and
the importance of the concept of intersectionality. In addition, Women
and Socialism: Class, Race, and Capital explores the contributions of
socialist feminists and Marxist feminists in further developing a
Marxist analysis of women's oppression amid the stirrings of a new
movement today. Praise for Sharon Smith's Subterranean Fire "Sharon
Smith brings that history to life once again, blasting through the
myths of the working class that Trump-era narratives cling to in order
to connect us once again to the possibility of building broad
solidarity." —Sarah Jaffe, author of Work Won't Love You Back "A
veteran worker-intellectual brilliantly addresses the crisis of the
labor movement, skewering those who believe that renewal can come from
the top down, and encouraging those who are fighting to rebuild it
from the bottom up." —Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums
