We Need Another Print Run!

I agree with the Canadian reader who reviewed this. It's just one amazing book--factual, passionate, life-changing (on a personal as well as a societal level). Also very very funny in parts. Morgan's is such an interesting writer, much more complex than your usual feminist or political rhetoric. A whole other level. I've wanted to give many copies of this reissued edition to friends but found that it's tmporarily unavailable altough not out of print. So I hope another print run is imminent.

Must be read by anyone interested in social change!!

I first read this book about 5 years ago and it changed the way I regard myself, activism, science. Surely it is an antidote to the pop-psychology that makes millions off of people's lives without dealing with the roots of oppression. In this book, Robin Morgan instead reveals herself and her ideas about what is necessary for true change - personal and political - to occur. There is hope and wisdom here. Sex, spirituality, activism, commitment to oneself, lovers, friends & beliefs, complex social theory and the parallels between feminism and physics - all of this written with wit and the joy of revelation, revolution. Buy this book, donate a copy for your community's library and also local women's centre... Donna J. Harroway is an important and equally exciting feminist to read on the issues of feminism, science and technology...she follows a parralel branch of theory. Although her points are often different, not as personal as Morgan, and her writing is more academic in style, her work is important companion reading.
