Mujeres Libres vs Liberal Feminism



“Free Women of Spain” by Martha Ackelsberg made me consider my own relationship towards mainstream feminism or white liberal feminism, if you prefer. I consider myself an anarcho-feminist with stress on the anarchism part. While white liberal feminism’s main goal seems to be to enable women to access and use existing heirarchies of power, anarcho-feminism wants to do away with those heirarchies all together and replace them with an egalitarian society which values equally all genders, races and people. It’s a great book about the Mujeres Libres or Free Women of Spain that looks critically at both libertarian movements centred only around class issues and feminism centred only around women’s liberation in a society in which very few are free.
