Help (again) May 22, 2006

I know we really should do our own research, but we’re incredibly busy at the moment: Naiades is in the middle of a house move, Siberian Falls is revising for finals and I’m facing a viva. So I don’t feel too bad about requesting our readers’ help with our group’s discussion nights again.
This week the topic is “Socialist Feminism.” If anyone has spotted or written any posts, essays or articles on this subject, please could you let us know about it in the comments or drop us an email? It needs to be fairly short and accessible to people who dobn’t know much about socialism. So far I’m thinking about using something from Angela Davis’s Women, Race and Class, but it would be good to have something British as well.
The discussion nights are going well, but we’ve been shamefully bad at writing posts about them. The ones we’ve done on women in the media, pornography and post feminism will all make interesting posts if we ever get round to it.
“Beyond the Fragments” by Lynne Segal, Hilary Wainwright and Sheila Rowbotham
“Is the future female” by Lynne Segal
Anything really by Sheila Rowbotham.
Interesting piece by Barbara Ehrenreich written in the 70s on Socialist Feminism (see link below)

The British women’s movement by Angela Weir and Elizabeth Wilson in New Left Review (1984)
(I will email you the piece as it is sub only)
Hope it is of some help..?
I have just sent you, by email, pdf versions of articles from New Left Review by Wilson and Weir; and Lynne Segal – Whose Left? (1991)
Thank you so much!
