{"product_id":"early-feminist-essays","title":"Early Feminist Essays","description":"A  collection of three classic and enduringly influential essays by U.S.     feminist and early organiser of the women’s liberation movement Jo Freeman,  published here with a new introduction by Kate Bugos.?        The Bitch Manifesto (1968)  - Widely  regarded as a foundational text of the Second Wave feminist movement, this  essay is an early instance of language reclamation, encouraging feminists to  reclaim the once-pejorative term ‘bitch.’ ?    ?    The Revolution Is Happening In Our Minds (1969) - An inspiring overview of  the feminist currents and actions of the period, including accounts of legal  challenges to abortion laws, protests against the commodification of women’s  bodies, the formation of feminist theatres and publications, the organising  of self-defence classes, the creation of consciousness-raising groups, and  much more besides.?    ?    The Tyranny of Structurelessness (1971) - This seminal essay identifies how  groups founded on well-meaning principles of egalitarian leaderlessness can  come to be dominated by invisible hierarchies, which are more oppressive and  less democratic than formally recognized ones. Widely referenced to this day,  it remains an authoritative warning about the importance of accountability  and direct democracy within activist groups.?","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57502271013237,"sku":"9780850368048","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/early-feminist-essays","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
