and America began to conceive of a 'New Moral World', and struggled to create their own utopias, with collective family life, communal property, free love and birth control. In Britain, the visionary ideals of the Utopian Socialist, Robert Owen, attracted thousands of followers, who for more than a quarter of a century attempted to put theory into practice in their own local societies, at rousing public meetings, in trade unions and in their new Communities of Mutual Association.Barbara Taylor's brilliant study of this visionary challenge recovers the crucial connections between socialist aims and feminist aspirations. In doing so, it opens the way to an important re-interpretation of the socialist tradition as a whole, and contributes to the reforging of some of those early links between feminism and socialism.I Call Myself A Feminist: The View from Twenty-Five Women Under Thirty

The Future of Work in Information Society
By Andrzej Piotr Wierzbicki. 2016
This book investigates the questionas to whether technological developments will ultimately mean the end of workand, if so, what the…
consequences will be. The author addresses this questionfrom the perspective of a technologist well versed in econometrics and gametheory, and argues that it is not technology alone that could lead to the endof work, but its utilization by the capitalist system. Technology allows us tominimize the costs of work and increase profits, while the system is worseningunemployment, socio-economic inequality and stratification - which could lead tothe end of capitalism in a massive global revolution. Assuch, the book proposes an evolutionary reform based on a seemingly minor butin fact essential correction of the corporate income tax, which he proposesshould decrease in accordance with the percentage of the enterprise's revenuesexpended to pay employee salaries. In this way, entrepreneurs will be motivatedto implement new professions and occupations, as well as new workplaces. Onlyin this way, the book argues, can reforms be used to prevent the end of work,which would have catastrophic consequences.From the wickedly famous and feminist creator and host of the "Throwing Shade" podcast, a collection of hilarious personal essays…
and political commentary perfect for fans of Lindy West and Roxane Gay. Since women earned the right to vote a little under one hundred years ago, our progress hasn't been the Olympic sprint toward gender equality first wave feminists hoped for, but more of a slow, elderly mall walk (with frequent stops to Cinnabon) over the four hundred million hurdles we still face. Some of these obstacles are obvious-unequal pay, under-representation in government, reproductive restrictions, lack of floor-length mirrors in hotel rooms. But a lot of them are harder to identify. They're the white noise of oppression that we've accepted as lady business as usual, and the patriarchy wants to keep it that way.Erin Gibson has a singular goal-to create a utopian future where women are recognized as humans. In FEMINASTY-titled after her nickname on the hit podcast "Throwing Shade"-she has written a collection of make-you-laugh-until-you-cry essays that expose the hidden rules that make life as a woman unnecessarily hard and deconstructs them in a way that's bold, provocative and hilarious. Whether it's shaming women for having their periods, allowing them into STEM fields but never treating them like they truly belong, or dictating strict rules for how they should dress in every situation, Erin breaks down the organized chaos of old fashioned sexism, intentional and otherwise, that systemically keeps women down.Shattered Bonds: The Color Of Child Welfare

Shattered Bonds is a stirring account of a worsening American social crisis--the disproportionate representation of black children in the U.…
S. foster care system and its effects on black communities and the country as a whole. Tying the origins and impact of this disparity to racial injustice, Dorothy Roberts contends that child-welfare policy reflects a political choice to address startling rates of black child poverty by punishing parents instead of tackling poverty's societal roots. Using conversations with mothers battling the Chicago child-welfare system for custody of their children, along with national data, Roberts levels a powerful indictment of racial disparities in foster care and tells a moving story of the women and children who earn our respect in their fight to keep their families intact.
