  • Winslow, Barbara
    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA BARBARA WINSLOW Interviewed by KATE WEIGAND May 3–4, 2004 Williamstown, Massachusetts This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2004 Narrator Barbara Winslow (b. 1945) grew up in Scarsdale, New York. She attended Antioch College for three years but graduated from the University of Washington with a B.A. in 1968 and a Ph.D. in history in 1972. A student and antiwar activist, she was instrumental in founding Women’s Liberation Seattle and was heavily involved in grassroots feminist activity, particularly reproductive rights, in Seattle, Detroit, Cleveland, and New York City. Active in socialist and feminist politics for many years, Winslow was also at the forefront of the movement to integrate women, African Americans, and the working class into the teaching of history in the 1970s. She is currently teaching history and women’s studies at Brooklyn College. Interviewer Kate Weigand (b. 1965) has a Ph.D. in women’s history and U.S. history from Ohio State University. She is author of Red Feminism: American Communism and the Making of Women’s Liberation (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001). Abstract In this oral history Barbara Winslow describes her privileged childhood Westchester County, New York, and at Solebury Academy in Pennsylvania. The interview focuses on Winslow’s activism as a socialist, a feminist, and a historian. Her story documents the life of a socialist activist and feminist and the challenges that come with combining those two identities with one another.

  • Contingency Plans for the Feminist Revolution
    ONE C ONTINGENCY P LANS FOR THE F EMINIST R EVOLUTION A 1998 cover of Time magazine broadcasts its apocalyptic question: “Is Feminism Dead?”1 The Time story bolsters its predictions about the death of feminism by cit- ing the declining numbers of women, particularly young women, who identify themselves as feminists.2 The article inside caricatures the movement that its cover kills off by query. “Feminism: It’s All About Me!” the title declares. The drift of this second title is also commonplace: nobody does politics anymore, and this cultural stuff going on with young people is at best lifestyle politics. Young people care more about transforming the individual body than the social polity. Young women, and youth more generally, have embraced the defensive posture of consumption poli- tics: what they eat, what they wear, and what they buy. This potent mix—combining predictions of the movement’s imminent death with a political irrelevance domi- nates media discussions of feminism and youth politics.3 Recent publications about third wave feminism are mostly collections of articles.4 As at the inception of the women’s liberation movement, the diversity of positions and ideas fueling interest in the third wave of feminism is accommo- dated anthology-style. Positions expressed in the collection, then as now, are con- tradictory and widely disparate in their concerns and ideas.5 The writings about as yet diffuse politics suggest rather than state the contours of their subject. The most striking difference from earlier collections edited by Leslie Tanner, Toni Cade, Sookie Stambler, Edith Hoshino Altbach, and other better known feminists is that essays about third wave feminism are written, almost exclusively, in the first person.6 The personal voice does not mean these articles are entirely about the writers.

  • Radical Women in Action--- the Case of Seattle City Light 1974 -1975
    •50 i RADICAL WOMEN IN ACTION--- THE CASE OF SEATTLE CITY LIGHT 1974 -1975 BY HEIDI DURHAM Radical Women Publications Seattle, Washington RADICAL WOMEN IN ACTION: THE CASE OF SEATTLE CITY LIGHT • By Heidi Durham In the past year and a half, four members of Radical Women have been deeply involved in supporting and encouraging a mass employee movement at Seattle's pub- licly-owned electrical utility. In April, 1974, City Light workers embarked on a mass walk-out that lasted 11 days and involved 1400 out of 1700 employees. In June of 1974, City Light became the first utility to hire 10 women into the electrical trades through a special Affirm- ative Action training program. The movment born of the walk-out, and strengthened by the Electrical Trades Trainee training program for women, has fought the bosses at every turn for over a year, and this remarkably sustained struggle has presented many challenges to us as socialist-feminists. We felt a deep responsibility to be examples of principled workingclass militan- cy, to expose the class warfare that hides behind "labor-management relations," and to show that the way to win against the employer is through the class solidarity forged when privileged, white-male workers understand that they must support the demands of the lower-paid and lower-skilled workers, predominantly women and mi- norities, in their midst, in return for concerted action by the total workforce. In the past several years, City Light employees, like most government workers, have been exposed to a close-up view of City government corruption and anti-labor bias.

  • Author's Preface
    Author’s Preface By Ellie Belew Red Letter Press asked me, as an autonomous historian, to docu- ment the history of the ten women who went through Seattle City Light’s Electrical Trades Trainee (ETT) program, and the program itself, including its designer and director, Clara Fraser. The more information I gathered and organized for this book, the more I came to appreciate the sheer tenacity of these women— their desire and insistence throughout all their struggles, not just for equality but for equity. It is almost inconceivable, some 45 years later, to appreciate how unyielding these women were. The ETTs persevered, learn- ing a multitude of difficult and unfamiliar skills while enduring an almost daily mix of harassment, slurs, innuendos, and sometimes illegal workplace practices. Socialist feminist Clara Fraser came to City Light after years of organizing, rallying, and training workers. She brought a practical vision for a successful women’s ETT program within a publicly owned utility and was not about to let anyone, in- cluding the powers-that-be, block this program or the social reforms it would deliver. Power over the ETT program initially lay with City Light Super- intendent Gordon Vickery; with Seattle Mayor Uhlman; and to some degree, with IBEW #77, the union representing City Light’s electri- cal trade workers, including the ETTs. Less obvious, but ultimately more powerful than any of these, were the cumulative efforts of the ETTs, Fraser, the Freedom Socialist Party, Radical Women, and ever- increasing public support for affirmative action at City Light and the City of Seattle.

  • Socialist Feminism and the Revolutionary Party [PDF 5.14
    February–March 2011 Socialist Feminism 5 A radiant program for new generations by Andrea Bauer What follows is an in-depth explanation of why Marxist feminism, embodied in a revolutionary party, is the contemporary answer to the crisis of capitalism. Drafted on behalf of the Freedom Socialist Party (FSP) National Committee, this political resolution was adopted at the party’s July 2010 convention. It incorporates additions put forward by the FSP membership. Overview IThe world and U.S. economies are profoundly troubled, experiencing the most severe crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The economies of entire nations have flat-lined. A mountain of debt forced Iceland into bankruptcy; Greece, Ireland, and other poor-neighbor countries of the southern European Union may yet face the same fate. The unprecedented breakdown of capitalism today is a symptom and signal of a system battling desperately to maintain itself long past its expiration date. Its convulsions are upsetting bankers and bosses, to be sure, but its main miseries are borne as always by the workers of every country — first among them women, the very young and the very old, and those marked for special suffering by skin color, nationality, and sexual orientation. The crisis has wrenched millions from their homes and jobs. In the U.S., in the middle of what bourgeois commentators describe without shame as a recovery, the economy continues to shed jobs month by month. Government stimulus spending, whether in the form of Wall Street bailouts or vast Steve Hoffman Pentagon payouts to “defense” To end the misery of war, mass protest is not enough: what’s needed industries, does nothing but boost is the determination to change the system that breeds it.

INDEX 332 —Murry Weiss* Anyone reaching the conclusion that the future of Mother Earth and her inhabitants depends on a total overhaul of the current system will ask: “How do we change the world? And what’s a better way to operate?” Permanent revolution, both the book and the theory, answers these questions with a thor- ough historical analysis of the dynamics of revolution, an anal- ysis that has stood the test of time. The concept of permanent revolution was developed by Leon Trotsky, who used it to foresee key elements of the world’s first successful overturn of capitalism, the Russian Revolution of 1917, in which he was a central leader. Today the axioms of his theory still hold true: Every fight to end poverty, increase human rights or achieve national liberation requires the lead- ership of the working class and socialism in order to have last- ing success.

At the global as well as the individual nation-state level, the wealth gap between the rich and the poor has widened to unbelievable extremes. In 1995, the net wealth of Bill Gates1 alone was greater than the combined net worth of the poorest 40 percent of Americans. That is, Bill Gates’ sole net worth was more than nearly 106 million peoples’ combined. By the late 1990s in the U.S., the average income of the top 20 percent of families rose to thirteen times the income earned by the bottom 20 percent.
