Revolution and nothing less

This book found me; reading it changed me profoundly. Clara Fraser is a radical socialist feminist and damn this woman can speak her mind! She has spent her life fighting the establishment, fuelled by her belief in the power of women and the dream of revolution. She is a feminist undaunted by the surge of backlash and *absolutely uncompromising* in this consumer culture that, all too often, succeeds in turning progressive leaders into turncoats and tokens. This book is a dialectical call for freedom and addresses a myriad of social ills that span decades, class, race and gender. Her energy and optimism are contagious. Four decades of activism have only strengthened her ideals and sharpened her wit. This book will challenge and inspire you. Who else is brave enough to rally us: "goddammit sisters, let's get revolutionary!"?
