Classic Study of Feminism and Revolution
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I found this book to be an excellent study of the promise and failure of revolutions, specifically communist revolutions, to enact feminst reform. I use this book when teaching courses, and it is well received. The points may be basic, but they are well documented and illustrated with a good case study. Highly recommended.
