She shows how women rose against the dual challenges of an unjust state system and social-sexual prejudice. First published in 1972, \u003ci\u003eWomen, Resistance and Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e is a major statement of second-wave feminism on the imperative for revolution within the revolution. It is also a rich and highly readable history of the growth of a radical consciousness from the beginnings of feminist possibility in the early-modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRowbotham charts the acceleration of feminist activity and theory after the French Revolution, despite the ambiguities of \"liberty, equality, fraternity\" for women. From Wollstonecraft’s \u003ci\u003eVindication\u003c\/i\u003e to Flora Tristan’s \u003ci\u003eWorker’s Union\u003c\/i\u003e and Engels's \u003ci\u003eOrigin of the Family\u003c\/i\u003e, she describes how women’s liberation became a live and explosive issue in emerging socialist movements. She traces feminist strands in modern revolutionary movements in Russia and China, including fascinating creative experiments during the early period of Bolshevik rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also considers the situation of women in anticolonial struggles in Algeria, Cuba and Vietnam. \u003ci\u003eWomen, Resistance and Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable historical study, as well as a trove of anecdote and example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47548215427308,"sku":"9781836742531","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4a6fc12a0e7ba811cc85065327464cf2.jpg?v=1776907799","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/women-resistance-and-revolution-by-sheila-rowbotham-9781836742531","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
