Women And The Social Revolution

by Cliff Slaughter, Vivien Slaughter, Yassamine Mather

The progress towards women's equality has been hard-won, but the capitalist system has been able to absorb, even incorporate many of these gains to its own advantage, as is shown in Yassamine Mather's essays in this book. Today, the unprecedented global humanitarian crisis, with its wars and mass poverty and starvation, has its greatest impact on women and children, and the particular sensibilities of women are essential to any understanding of and action against these atrocities. It is argued here that the problems will continue, even intensify, unless the economic and political system at their root, globalised capital, with its destructive imperatives, is challenged and replaced - a change requiring a social revolution.
