Living for the Revolution: Black Feminist Organizations, 1968–1980
The first in-depth analysis of the Black feminist movement, Living for the Revolution fills in a crucial but overlooked chapter in Black, women’s, and social movement history. Through original oral history interviews with key activists and analysis of previously unexamined organizational records, Kimberly Springer traces the emergence, life, and decline of several Black feminist organizations: the Third World Women’s Alliance, Black Women Organized for Action, the National Black Feminist Organization, the National Alliance of Black Feminists, and the Combahee River Collective.
