Joanna Russ's On Strike Against God is remarkable for its deft intertwining of many themes: not only the overt one of coming out, but many intricately (and inevitably) interlaced stories of alienation, a search for community and rebellion against how our society defines women.

    Often imitated, never replaced, Man-Made Language has become a cornerstone of modern feminist thought.

    Her analysis leads her to considerable criticism of many commonly-held feminist views, but from it emerges the outline of a new feminism which sacrifices neither rationality nor radicalism.

    This title includes classic and contemporary selections that represent both feminist and anti-feminist viewpoints in an examination of women's lives, and the ways in which women can effect alternatives to traditional gender roles.

    The Girl I Left Behind is her scrapbook of our times, an examination of the personal and political issues that determine women's lives.

    

    

    Traces the involvement of poor, minority, and middle class American women in household work, wage labor, social reform, and depression and wartime labor forces.
