Women, Resistance and Revolution: A History of Women and Revolution in the Modern World (Verso World History)

Groundbreaking . One of feminism's great chroniclers, an accessible writer about complex social movements and significant moments of social and economic transformation -- Melissa Benn ― Guardian

The implications are vital, and its case unanswerable. An important and very readable book ― Bookseller

A classic socialist feminist text . compelling . moving dialectically between theory and practice and between everyday acts of resistance and collective uprisings. The red thread of the book is quite simply the immanence of women's struggle -- Kate Hardy ― Feminist Review

Sheila's early writing paved the way for feminist thought and scholarship in Britain -- Lynne Segal

Rowbotham's survey of feminist struggles from Puritan times onwards and in particular their role in the revolutions of Russia, Cuba, Algeria and Vietnam is informative and convincing -- Jennifer Ward ― Sunday Times

For Rowbotham, women's liberation was bound up with the dismantling of capitalism. But it also required - and here they departed from the Old Guard left - a rethinking of everyday patterns of life, relating to sex, love, housework, child rearing -- Amia Srinivasan ― New Yorker
