Worker, mother, trade unionist and activist, her painful memories always remind us that the personal is political. Zelda is a moving, down-to-earth recounting of the past, an insightful criticism of the way our society is structured and a reclamation of the exuberance of the Women's Liberation Movement. This is a book with no airs. Instead, it gives sharp opinions without expounding grand theories. The life of a remarkable woman who often battled alone for what women today take for granted. |
