Her four decades of grassroots activism forged collaborations that introduced the idea that oppression must be fought on a variety of fronts simultaneously, including gender, race, class, and sexuality. By combining hard-to-find historical documents with new unpublished interviews with fellow activists, this book uncovers the deep roots of today's \"identity politics\" and \"intersectionality\" and serves as an essential primer for practicing solidarity and resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlethia Jones\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of Education and Leadership Development at 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East. \u003cb\u003eVirginia Eubanks\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Women's Studies at the University at Albany, State University of New York and author of \u003ci\u003eDigital Dead End: Fighting for Social Justice in the Information Age\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eBarbara Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is Public Service Professor in the School of Social Welfare at the University at Albany, State University of New York.
