Beyond the Fragments: Feminism and the Making of Socialism

Front Cover
Fernwood Publishing, 2013 - Political Science - 324 pages
Inspired by the activism of the 1970s that surrounded the triumph of the right under Margaret Thatcher in U.K., Beyond the Fragments was written to create stronger bonds of solidarity in a new left movement that incorporated feminist experiences and perspectives. This new, updated version returns to the fraught question of how to consolidate diverse upsurges of rebellion into effective, open, democratic Left coalitions in the face of deepening recessions, environmental pollution, falling wages and severe welfare cuts.
