Yet the role radical feminism played within the women's movement remains hotly contested. For some, radical feminism has made a lasting contribution to our understanding of male privilege, and the ways the power imbalance between men and women affects the everyday fabric of women's lives. For others, radical feminism represents a reflexive hostility toward men, sex, and heterosexuality, and thus is best ignored or forgotten. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rather than have the movement be interpreted by others, \u003cb\u003eRadical Feminism\u003c\/b\u003e permits the original work of radical feminists to speak for itself. Comprised of pivotal documents written by U.S. radical feminists in the 1960s and 1970s, \u003cb\u003e Radical Feminism \u003c\/b\u003ecombines both unpublished and previously published manifestos, position papers, minutes of meetings, and newsletters essential to an understanding of radical feminism. Consisting of documents unavailable to the general public, and others in danger of being lost altogether, this panoramic collection is organized around the key issues of sex and sexuality, race, children, lesbianism, separatism, and class. Barbara A. Crow rescues the groundbreaking original work of such groups as The Furies, Redstockings, Cell 16, and the Women's Liberation Movement. Contributors include Kate Millet, Susan Brownmiller, Shulamith Firestone, Rosalyn Baxandall, Toni Morrison, Ellen Willis, Anne Koett, and Vivan Gornick. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Gathered for the first time in one volume, these primary sources of radical feminism fill a major gap in the literature on feminism and feminist thought. \u003cb\u003eRadical Feminism\u003c\/b\u003e is an indispensable resource for future generations of feminists, scholars, and activists.","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614514823319,"sku":"9780814715543","price":11545.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780814715543.webp?v=1775094287","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/radical-feminism-a-documentary-reader-9780814715543","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
