Woman's Consciousness, Man's World

Groundbreaking examination of the birth, development and impact of Feminist consciousness

When it was initially published in 1973, Woman's Consciousness, Man's World was a groundbreaking contribution to debates on women's oppression and consciousness, and the connections between socialism and feminism.
