New Upload: Women activists discuss anarchism, feminism, and the relationship between the personal and the political, in extracts from interviews carried out in 1977. Part One of Anarchism and Feminism: voices from the seventies includes:
Susan: I really believe in a basic anarchism in all women, because of their experiences.
Rose: My politics have always come from what I experience, rather than theory.
Louise: If you’re working towards a free society you have to think about everything.
Carol: I thought that anarchism had more to offer.
Olive: Revolution without fun was pointless.
Part Two will follow later this year, with four more interviews.
Just Published: Women Against Fundamentalism: stories of dissent and solidarity, which includes my chapter ‘The Spirit of Resistance: Helen Lowe 1944-2011‘. I will be uploading the chapter to my website later this year, [added in November 2014] but strongly recommend the whole book, which is available in paperback and as an e-book.
Correction to download link: The Gender Politics of Anarchist History now has a functioning download link. I hope to get a more recent version of this paper online before long.
If you come across any other non-functioning links on the site, please let me know and I’ll get on the case.
