Not Dead Yet Summary

Not Dead Yet: Feminism, Passion and Womens Liberation by Renate Klein, PhD.

What was it like to participate in the Womens Liberation Movement? What made millions of women step forward from the 1960s onwards and join it in different ways? Many of the 56 women in this book were there. They describe how they have contributed in multitudinous ways across politics, the arts, health, education, environmentalism, economics and science and created wonderfully rebellious activism. And how they continue this activism today with determined grittiness. Here are women all over 70 years of age still railing against the patriarchal systemic oppression of women, still fighting back. Dont Call Me Sweetie, Never Waste a Good Crisis and Still Here, Still Clear and Still Lesbian is some of what they want us to know. The contributors to Not Dead Yet have created new analyses with new language and new kinds of organisations always aware of the ways in which the system is stacked against us, particularly against radical feminists. But we persist. We share the revolutionary zest we have carried with us over many decades. There is history, there is subversion and there are many extraordinary acts of courage. The language is full of irony and wit as well as deadly serious. The Womens Liberation Movement has had a profound effect on the lives of millions of women and in turn those women have changed our world. But the struggle continues. May these riveting tales by the foremothers of the movement inspire young women readers. #NotDeadYet
