feminist reprise
L
ots of people love to hate feminism these days. If it’s not some right-wing blowhard slandering a movement he doesn’t understand on a syndicated radio show, it’s the denizens of queer--insistently ignorant of feminism’s ovular influence on their theory--opining as to how 1970s radical feminism is racist, classist, and irrelevant besides. There are also those who, somewhere along the way, confused feminism’s insistence on ending the oppression of women with the right of everyone to do whatever they want all the time and call it feminist. This is particularly apparent when the discussion turns to anything falling into the vast abyss formed by the divergent trajectories of feminism and the so-called "sexual revolution."

So, Feminist Reprise is here to recapture that ship. The archive contains original documents from the early days of the “second wave” of the feminist movement in the United States, plus more recent writings which maintain that uncompromising radical feminist perspective and analysis.  It's likely you'll find something on this site you'll absolutely hate. And that’s just fine. Whether this work convinces you of anything, at least you'll know what feminists actually say. Oh, and, by the way? Have some fun, while you’re at it. ‘Cause, with all apologies to Emma Goldman, if I can’t laugh, I don’t want your revolution.
