An international bestseller, originally published in 1970, when
Shulamith Firestone was just twenty-five years old, The Dialectic
of Sex was the first book of the women's liberation movement to put
forth a feminist theory of politics. Beginning with a look at the
radical and grassroots history of the first wave (with its
foundation in the abolition movement of the time), Firestone
documents its major victory, the expansion of the franchise in
1920, and the fifty years of ridicule that followed. She goes on to
deftly synthesize the work of Freud, Marx, de Beauvoir, and Engels
to create a cogent argument for feminist revolution. Ultimately she
presents feminism as the key radical ideology, the missing link
between Marx and Freud, uniting their visions of the political and
the personal. The Dialectic of Sex remains remarkably relevant
today-a testament to Firestone's startlingly prescient vision. The
author died in 2012, but her ideas live on through this
extraordinary book.
