In The Worldwide Family Of Militant Women - Paperback

Connecting the frontlines of history with the urgent struggles of today, Arlene Eisen's memoir/social history charts a personal and collective radical journey of the 1960s through the early 1980s. The Worldwide Family of Militant Women is a riveting account of these turbulent decades-from the mountains of Peru and the jungles of Viet Nam to the revolutionary projects of Cuba, China, and the USSR, and back to the struggles inside the US.

Eisen demonstrates how she, and thousands of other women, had the opportunity to learn in a time of historic upheaval when revolutionary movements were on the rise in every continent. They joined those struggles both as rank and file and as leaders, in their own organizations and in national organizations; for their own survival and liberation as well as for the liberation of their nations.

As the US once again wages genocidal war against a poorer nation, Eisen's hard-won lessons resonate with shocking urgency. Her story is a call to action for a new generation, outraged by imperial impunity and searching for a path of meaningful resistance. For anyone compelled to challenge the same intolerable war machine, this book offers indispensable wisdom, profound hope, and the proof that we do not fight alone.
