Quiet Rumours: An Anarcha-Feminist Reader
AK Press 120pp ISBN: 1 902593 40 5 $22.50
From consciousness-raising groups to hair-razing punk rockers, here's a fascinating window into the development of the women's movement, in the words of the women who moved it. These classic essays span the century, providing welcome context for feminism as part of a larger politics of liberation and equality. Critical analysis and biting polemic, whether it's Emma Goldman's attack on the suffrage movement or the debates of Second Wave feminists of the 1970s, connect the dots to show not just how anarchism influenced feminism, but how feminism changed the political landscape around it.

Emma Goldman: Sexuality & The Impurity Of The State
Black Rose 202pp ISBN: 1-895431-64-6 $25.50
This book focuses on the ideas of Emma Goldman as they relate to the centrality of sexuality and reproduction. These ideas, on the liberatory potential of women's sexuality - birth control, voluntary motherhood, homosexual rights and the aggressive nature of marriage, religion and the state - are relevant to the current feminist debates on sexuality's pleasures, rather than its dangers, and as such, equates women's freedom with sexual freedom.

Black Rose 204pp ISBN: 1-55164-108-9 $32.20
The role of the State is analysed in setting policies that allow women to increase their participation in the public shere, while at the same time keeping the public-private divide and its attendant value structure in tact: domestic labour and child care remain women's responsibility and are valued less than work performed in the public shere. It shows how women are overwelmingly forced to work a double day.
