I have a couple of girlfriend who put me on the spot the other day. and I actually felt pretty embarrassed.

I was telling them that they should look into women who are revolutionary instead of Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton.. and they asked me to give them some names. and I couldn't really think of anyone besides Rosa Luxembourg..

can you guys tell me of some stuff I can read on and they can read on that deals with revolutionary women.. marxist, anarchist, etc...

oh yeah and something thats not Eva Peron.. <_<

Dolores Ibarurri (aka La Pasionaria) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Pasionaria)

Emma Goldman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Goldman)

Tamara Bunke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamara_Bunke)

You should show her the movie "Libertarias". It&#39;s a dramatic account of female revolutionaries during the Spanish civil war.

You should read, &#39;Free Women of Spain&#39; by Martha Ackelsberg, it&#39;s a solid account of the autonomous womens&#39; movement in spain during the spanish civil war period.
