Up to now, studies of feminist activism have focused almost exclusively on protest that was commonly understood as peaceful. This study shows that there was considerable disagreement over the question of which tactics were appropriate and necessary in feminist struggles, and that some groups have drawn on highly confrontational and violent tactics to fight against sexist oppression.
The book is the first study to analyze the activities and ideologies of the Red Zora - a terrorist organization with an explicitly feminist agenda.
The book provides a conceptual and analytical framework for the study of feminist militancy
The book offers a fresh perspective on the question of solidarity in transnational feminist campaigns.
