Rosa Luxemburg, Women’s Liberation and Marx’s Philosophy of Revolution   Univ. of Illinois Press: Urbana and Chicago, 1991. (First edition was Humanities Press: Atlantic Highlands, NJ 1983.) Hoping the women’s liberation movement would delve into theory, Dunayevskaya introduced Luxemburg’s then-unknown feminist dimension. The book also includes a critique of Luxemburg’s theories of accumulation of capital—a matter still hotly contested today. The second section gives highlights of the history of the women’s movement “as revolutionary force and reason;” the third revisits Marx from his earliest to last works, including his Critique of the Gotha Program, which the author sees pointing a direction for our time. Includes a forward by Adrienne Rich. 280 pgs.
