FREE WOMEN OF SPAIN: ANARCHISM AND THE STRUGGLE FOR THE EMANCIPATION OF WOMEN
Martha A. Ackelsberg
AK Press

Cowards don't make history; and the women of Mujeres Libres (Free Women) were no cowards. Courageous enough to create revolutionary change in their daily lives, these women mobilized over 20,000 women into an organized network during the Spanish Revolution, to strive for community, education, and equality for women and the emancipation of all. Militants in the anarcho-syndicalist CNT union, Mujeres Libres struggled against fascism, the State, and reaction; and the less than supportive attitudes and concerns of their male comrades. Martha Ackelsberg writes a comprehensive study of Mujeres Libres, intertwining interviews with the women themselves and analysis connecting them with modern feminist movements.

MUJERES LIBRES: EL ANARQUISMO Y LA LUCHA POR LA EMANCIPATION DE LAS MUJERES
Martha A. Ackelsberg
Virus

Sobre la bse de un estudio riguroso y profundo de las condiciones sociales y politicas que permitieron el surgimiento de un movimiento emancipatorio de mujeres en la Espana revolucionaria del 36, Ackelsberg realiza una cronica de los esfuerzos de Mujeres Libres por crear una organizacion constituida por y para mujeres de las clase trabajadora, con el objetivo de prepararlas para ocupar su lugar en la revolucion y en la nueva sociedad que se avecinaba. En la presente se analizan a fondo las razones que llevaron a un numeroso grupo de mujeres del ambito libertario a la creacion de Mujeres Libres—en contra de la voluntad de buena parte de los hombres e, incluso, de algunas mujeres del Movimiento Libertario-; los problemas, temas de disputa y reaciones que mantuvieron con este; y sus discusiones internas, objetivos y funcionamiento. Pero lo que la hace especialmente interesante es que no es simplemente un estudio historico, sino que, incidiendo especialmente en el analisis anarquista de las relaciones de dominacion y subordinacion y en la centralidad que ocupa en este la nocion de comunidad, Ackelsberg plantea que puede aportar el discurso y la experiencia de Mujeres Libres a la teoria y lucha feminista contemporanea.

NIGHT-VISION: ILLUMINATING WAR AND CLASS ON THE NEO-COLONIAL TERRAIN
Red Rover and Butch Lee
Vagabond

An examination of neo-colonialism and the difficulties of fighting it as it has found ways to scramble relationships such that it can be hard to clearly know one's enemy. This book also binds together sex, race, and class in a new form, a form which helps one grasp the interlocking nature of these oppressions.

"The transformation to a neo-colonial world has only begun, but it promises to be as dramatic, as disorienting a change as was the original European colonial conquest of the human race. Capitalism is again ripping apart and reconstructing the world, and nothing will be the same. Not race, not nation, not gender, and certainly not whatever culture you used to have." —from the preface Butch and Red break it down, how it all fits together, how to break it apart again.

"Unfortunately I have noticed that many people take a look at the title and decide that this is one of those boring academic books. Nothing could be farther from the truth: this is kick-ass feminism as good as it gets." - Kerplebedeb

"A book that should be read by anyone who gives a damn about a non-racist, non-sexist, non-homophobic future." — Bo Brown

The Women Incendiaries
Edith Thomas
Haymarket

The Women Incendiaries tells the often overlooked story of the crucial role played by women during the Paris Commune of 1871, one of history's most important experiments in working-class democracy.

Women played a courageous role in defending the Commune, while at the same time challenging the limitations placed on women in French society. Louise Michel was one of them. Facing trial after her arrest, Michel told the court, "Since it seems that every heart that beats for freedom has no right to anything but a little slug of lead, I demand my share. if you let me live, I shall never cease to cry for vengeance." Michel was sentenced to exile for her role in the Commune. But she was not forgotten. When she finally retruned in November 1880 to Paris, ten thousand workers greeted her at the train station.

This is the first paperback edition of this vital, remarkable book.

QUIET RUMOURS: AN ANARCHA-FEMINIST READER
Various
AK Press/Dark Star

From consciousness-raising groups to hair-raising punk rockers, here's a fascinating window into the development of the women's movement, in the words of the women who moved it. These classic essays span the century, providing welcome context for feminism as part of a larger politics of liberation and equality. Critical analysis and biting polemic, whether it's Emma Goldman's attack on the suffrage movement or the debates of Second Wave feminists of the 1970s, connect the dots to show not just how anarchism influenced feminism but how feminism changed the political landscape around it.

"With this important collection of and about anarcha-feminists over more than a century, stunning female anarchist heroes are restored to our collective memory." -Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

ANARCHIST REVOLUTION AND THE LIBERATION OF WOMEN
Martha A. Ackelsberg
Zabalaza

Chronicling women's struggle within the social revolution that accompanied the Spanish Civil War, Anarchist Revolution and the Liberation of Women focuses on the importance of women's communities and gender-specific experiences as the basis for working class women's self-empowerment that would allow them to take their places in the revolution and in the free society. Founded in 1936 by groups of women in Madrid and Barcelona, Mujeres Libres (Free Women) was an organisation dedicated to the liberation of women from their "triple enslavement to ignorance, as women, and as producers." This pamphlet is the first chapter out of Martha Ackelsburg's book Free Women of Spain: Anarchism and the Struggle for the Emancipation of Women, which is highly recommended to any person struggling for a new and better world.

BONDAGE UP YOURS Experiences of female punks in the nineteen ninties
M. Liptrot
Active Distribution

This thick pamphlet was originally produced for a postgraduate degree, it is nevertheless an excellent collection of interviews with women involved in the (UK) punk scene. Along the way, it discusses a brief history of women in punk, the conventional image of femininity, experiences of discrimination, the affiliation process, the everyday lives of female punks, the female role within punk, feminism and sexism within punk, and a whole lot more. Eminently readable, and food for thought (and enjoyment) for a lot more folks than just the punks!

FEMINISM AND ANARCHY
Commission des femmes, Fédération Anarchiste
Zabalaza Books

Feminism: “To its credit, the women’s movements have raised the issue of women’s revolt in terms other than class-struggle ones, class struggle the only historical driving force seen by the Marxists, who have clarified the economic exploitation of women not paid for housework and child-rearing but have not challenged the reproduction of the power male workers wield compared to women workers. Capitalism has an ideological need of this form of social organisation.”

Feminism, Class and Anarchism
Deirdre Hogan
Zabalaza Books

“Capitalist society depends on class exploitation. It does not though depend on sexism and could in theory accommodate to a large extent a similar treatment of women and men. This is obvious if we look at what the fight for women’s liberation has achieved in many societies around the world over the last, say, 100 years, where there has been radical improvements in the situation of women and the underlying assumptions of what roles are natural and right for women. Capitalism, in the mean time, has adapted to women’s changing role and status in society.”

It is quite common these days to hear criticisms of “mainstream” or “middleclass” feminism from anarchists or others on the revolutionary, and even the not-so-revolutionary, left. In particular, anarchists are often quick to criticise any feminist analysis that lacks a class analysis. This article argues that feminism in its own right is worth fighting for and that when it comes to ending sexism an insistence on always emphasising class can end up merely distracting from the fact that as anarchists we need to be unambiguous when it comes to supporting feminism. Rather than distancing ourselves from other feminists or seeking always to qualify our support, our emphasis should shift to developing and promoting our own brand of anarchist feminism.
