Description
The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution
First published in 1970, this influential book presents a radical feminist theory of politics, synthesizing the work of Freud, Marx, de Beauvoir, and Engels to make a compelling argument for feminist revolution.
Firestone examines the history of the women's liberation movement, from its abolitionist roots to the granting of the vote in 1920, and argues that women's reproductive roles are a key factor in their oppression. This book remains remarkably relevant today, offering a thought-provoking vision of the intersection of politics and personal life.
