Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women's bodies, and it's no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond. Menopause is not a disease- it's a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what's to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of...

Written between 1974 and 2016, Revolution at Point Zero collects four decades of research and theorizing on the nature of housework, social reproduction, and women's struggles on this terrain-to escape it, to better its conditions, to reconstruct it in ways that provide an alternative to capitalist relations.

Many feminists have believed that government is the natural ally of the women's movement. However, this book demonstrates that the opposite is true: government has long been a major oppressor of women and their rights. Feminism is not a new political force; its origins can be traced back to the abolitionist movement before the Civil War.

"The Sex Question" emerged for Goldman in multiple contexts, and we find her addressing it in writing on subjects as varied as women's suffrage, "free love," birth control, the "New Woman," homosexuality, marriage,...
