Using books, articles, unpublished letters, political manifestos, posters, and other such ephemeral remainders, The Retreat from Organization offers critical assessments of feminism from the 1960s to the present. These materials reveal paths left unexplored and organization efforts still unfinished to suggest new possibilities for present feminist politics. Debates about the second wave women's movement revolve around the identity and the identification of the subject of feminism and rarely ask, as this book does, how feminism operates as a collective movement. Armstrong attempts to complicate how we disagree over feminism by asking questions about identity and organization, the subject and the movement, and ultimately, what "feminism" should be in our present context of passionate indeterminacy.

The retreat from organization
Extremely comprehensive and straightforward, and the emboldening optimism with which its written is refreshing. My only two critiques of the politics presented within are:
1. the organization's stance on sex work and the legalization of prostitution (though their platform does demand it) feels at time a bit reactionary, and
2. the lack of analysis on how transphobia, transmisogyny, and our culture's strict adherence to a nonexistent gender binary continually marginalize and exploit trans women and gender non-confirming individuals in ways unexperienced by our cis women comrades is a glaring oversight.
Otherwise, the explanation of how socialist and feminist aims are inherently intertwined was written in a way easily understood by those new to theory or the movement, and I would happily lend this book to any sister who was looking to educate herself further (after lengthy discussion with her about my previous two points.)
