That distinction seems right on, and I agree with the assessment. The class segregation and isolation of activism in general, and anarchism by proxy, is corrupting force throughout the left.

Also the websites of the Chicago Women's Liberation Union and the Duke University WOmen's Liberation collection. One other thing - I think there's an important analytical distinction that often doesn't get made, between fighting against sexism and fighting for women's interests. The latter doesn't reduce to the former. My personal opinion is that anarchists are crap at both but better at practicing and understanding the first more than the second, in part because of the relative lack of involvement in mass work. Great to see you blogging again, by the way. xo Nate I’d recommend the books Dear Sisters by Baxandall and Gordon and The Feminist Memoir Project by I forget who.
