Recommended Reading Outside of This Session

Marge PiaC's Woman on the Ed of Time is a 1976 novel that is, I think, explicitly thinking about the dialectic of sex by Shulama Firestone. The anti-social family by Michelle Barrett and Mary McIntosh from the 80s was one of the clearest cases for why it makes sense to talk about abolishing rather than reforming the family. Abolish family is out now, you can buy it online at Verso.com as well as some other great reading. Tune in next episode to hear someone else talking about something else called joining the Union.
