Leninism, Stalinism, And The Women's Movement In Britain, 1920-1939

This book offers a detailed examination of the interaction between socialism and feminism through the lens of one particular socialist organisation, the Communist Party of Great Britain, from its foundation in 1920 until the outbreak of the Second World War. The study of socialism and feminism in the CPGB can be divided into four major arease" the partye(tm)s concept of socialism and the role of women in a future society; the partye(tm)s relationship to the feminist movement; the work of the party in relation to specific womene(tm)s issues; and how the sexual division of labour operated within the party. The author here defines and explains the socialist and feminist traditions in Britain and describes the ways in which they interacted, both at the level of theory and of practice. Sources from party press and reports to interviews with party members and non-party written and oral evidence and accounts feed into this thorough chronological treatment which outlays the changes within the CPGB during the 1920s and 30s in relation to feminism. 9781138008021 1138008028 0 Feminism NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Bo7snQEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
