This classic book provides a historical overview of feminist strands

among the modern revolutionary movements of Russia, China and the Third

World. Sheila Rowbotham shows how women rose against the dual challenges

of an unjust state system and social-sexual prejudice. Women, Resistance and Revolution

is an invaluable historical study, as well as a trove of anecdote and

example fit to inspire today's generation of feminist thinkers and

activists.
