reviewed The dialectic of sex on August 30, 2012 The dialectic of sex
Writing this because I'm thinking a lot of Shulamith Firestone's death tonight. A professor in media studies lent me his copy of Dialectic of Sex when I was 18 and i remember how it fundamentally changed my thinking. As a young feminist reading a lot of Marx and thinking of socialism, it really brought home the concept of reproductive labour. And I referenced the book a lot both in school and personally.
Plus, I really liked how she characterized childbirth and pregnancy as a completely dehumanizing experience.
I think I'll read it again and write a more thoughtful review 14 years after reading it.
I had so many questions for her and was hoping she would go on some speaking tour with Dialectic of Sex Revisited. Like, how she analyzes gender oppression with trans rights, if she really thought men couldn't love and if she feared that technology could further oppress women.
It's amazing she wrote this when she was 25, but also really sad died alone struggling with mental illness. I kind of wish I had the chance to tell her that her book really set me on the road of fighting for social justice and liberation.
RIP Shulamith!
