Radically Speaking

by Diane Bell and Renate Klein (Editors) - £19.99  Spinifex Press (1996)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781875559381 | ISBN 10: 1875559388

Radical feminists are at it again. They are subversive, reflective, funny, polemical, political, moving, analytical, critical, international, visionary, radical. Seventy writers from every continent discuss their ideas and practice of contemporary feminism.
 
Since the late 1960s radical feminists have worked to articulate a vision of the world in which all women are safe and all women are acknowledged as human beings in their own right. Their analyses of oppression are based on an understanding of the interlocking power of racism, classism, and (hetero)sexism as manifested under patriarchy. Their projects include Take Back the Night campaigns, establishing women's refuges, rape crisis centres, health centres, organising against pornography and developing courses in Women's Studies. The richness of the practice and the theory of radical feminism is often misrepresented or unknown. Radically Speaking tells this story. The contributors show the global reach of radical feminism and that what is happening in the former Yugoslavia, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan and Chile resonates with the experience of women in the USA, Norway, UK, Australian, Germany and Aotearoa/New Zealand.
 
The contributors to Radically Speaking show that a radical feminist analysis cuts across class, race, sexuality, region, religion and across the generations. It is essential reading for Women's Studies, sociology, cultural studies, political science, philosophy, anthropology, religion and anyone interested in the processes of social change.
