It includes contemporary "classics" on socialist feminism by Juliet Mitchell, Gayle Rubin, Zillah Eisenstein, and Heidi I. Hartmann; reflections on the movement itself; and discussions on such issues as sexuality and pornography, work and the labor movement, and the viability of socialist feminist strategies in a liberal world.
