Taking Back Our Lives: A Call to Action for the Feminist Movement

by Ann Russo

In this groundbreaking book, outspoken feminist Ann Russo calls the feminist movement to account for their silence on such 'embarrassing' topics as lesbian battering, lesbian pornography, and racism in the feminist movement. Russo provides a multi-oppression approach to understanding the violence that is done to women, incorporating issues of gender, race, class and sexuality in her analysis.
