- Description
- This book gives an account of how feminist ideas were enacted by West German leftist organizations from the Red Army Faction to less well-known groups such as the Red Zora. It analyzes their confrontational and violent tactics in challenging the abortion ban, opposing violence against women and campaigning for solidarity with Third World women. Though these groups often diverged ideologically and tactically, they all demonstrated the potency of militant feminism within postwar protest movements.
