FIRESTONE, Shulamith
The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution

An international best-seller, first published in 1970 when Shulamith Firestone was just 25 years old, The Dialectic of Sex broke new ground in presenting a theory of politics for the women’s liberation movement. Firestone posits that feminism is the key radical ideology, the missing link between Marx and Freud, uniting the political with the personal. The book remains of pressing relevance today – a testament to Firestone’s startlingly prescience. [publishers’ note]
