Almost a year ago now, I was interviewed about feminism by Jose Maria Martinelli, and clips from that interview are now part of Jose’s brilliant critique of traditional masculinity, Men Cry. Check it out on Youtube here.

Marxism and Women’s Liberation
New book, with a chapter by me on where does sexism come from, on sale now at Counterfire.
The Second Wave of the fight for women’s liberation, which erupted in the late 1960s, put women’s equality on the political agenda.
Nearly 50 years later much has been achieved, but inequality survives and the lives of too many women and men are blighted by an economic regume that fails to provide basic necessities, let alone the hope of liberation.
This essential introduction to women’s liberation discusses the origins of sexism, the intersection of race and women’s oppression and the history of women’s struggles. It probes the movement’s strengths and weaknesses and tries to learn lessons from the past that can help in today’s struggle for real freedom.
