Women & Socialism - Author Event with Sharon Smith

RSVP on Facebook

More than forty years after the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s, women remain without equal rights. If anything, each decade that has passed without a fighting women’s movement has seen a rise in blatant sexism and the further erosion of the gains that were won in the 1960s and 1970s.

Join a discussion with Sharon Smith that takes up issues of women’s oppression from a Marxist perspective — focusing on the centrality of race and class — amid the stirrings of a new movement today.

“Sharon Smith’s work, spanning decades of events affecting women, provides a valuable and uncommon perspective on the oppression and liberation of women." —Dana Cloud, Associate Professor, University of Texas, Austin

This event is sponsored by Potter's House and DC Jacobin
