Anyone can give me suggestion on any Marxist, leftist, socialist, communist, anarchist works that were written by women (besides Rosa Luxembourg)? I would prefer reading texts where these women addressed the issues of women in a revolutionary struggle.
I am not just asking because I am a woman but I ask as a revolutionary who feels that revolutionary ideology is a) overwhelming geared towards a male population b) written in the context of a revolution of a society of men, rather than a revolution for the "people" in itself. By this, I mean, that revolutionary works have conceptualized, whether intentionally or not, "the people" and "leaders of the revolution" as mostly male. c) someday I intend on writing out and developing my ideology that addresses the confusions/contradictions female radicals are faced with or the lack of both intellectual and action-based radical practice from women. In other words, in the radical spectrum, I feel there is a shortage of women. I specifically intend on focusing on women of minority backgrounds.
Thoughts are welcome on this but I also prefer if somebody gave me some suggestions/resources to look at.
