An ancient title of respect for women, the word “cunt” long ago veered off this noble path. Inga Muscio traces the road from honor to expletive, giving women the motivation and tools to claim “cunt” as a positive and powerful force in their lives. In this fully revised edition, she explores, with candidness and humor, such traditional feminist issues as birth control, sexuality, jealousy between women, and prostitution with a fresh attitude for a new generation of women. “Bright, sharp, empowering, long-lasting, useful, sexy....”—San Francisco Chronicle

In this updated text of sexual politics, bell hooks argues that the contemporary feminist movement must establish a new direction for the future. A leading cultural critic, she contends that feminism has not succeeded in creating a mass movement against sexism because the foundation of the women's movement has not fully accounted for the complexity and diversity of female experience. In order to fulfil its revolutionary potential, feminist theory must begin by consciously transforming its own definition to encompass the lives and ideas of women on the margin. This new edition includes an original preface by the author that brings it up to date.

This important anthology draws together essays, interviews and pamphlets exploring the relationship between anarchism and feminism. The pieces included range from classics by Emma Goldman such as "The Tragedy of Women's Emancipation" to Jo Freeman's highly influential essay on the politics of organizing groups "The Tyranny of Structurelessness". Throughout the collection the theme of developing an effective feminist, anarchist revolutionary movement is explored from various historical and contemporary perspectives: women and the Left; the Spanish Revolution; the crucial importance of dismantling not just patriarchy but hierarchy itself; the issue of women being trivialized, dismissed, or co-opted; class; capitalism; the post-feminist backlash; and manifestos for the future.
