Description

The movement for LGBT rights has greatly expanded sexual freedom, but many challenges confront this struggle for equality. Sherry Wolf offers a Marxist analysis that links today's struggles for equal rights to a future based on genuine liberation.

Sexuality & Socialism provides a profound exploration of how social and economic factors shape the fight for LGBT rights, advocating for an inclusive vision that integrates these efforts into broader campaigns for societal transformation. Through her insightful examination, Wolf presents a compelling argument for why a Marxist perspective is essential in understanding and achieving true liberation for all.
