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. Price: 140kr |

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 |

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. Price: 110kr |

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 |
