Quiet Rumours: An Anarcha-Feminist Reader

Dark Star Collective

Anarcha-feminism

It is a foundational gathering of anarcha-feminist thought, essential for any route tracing the meeting of anarchism and women's liberation.

Synopsis

An anthology gathering anarcha-feminist voices across generations to argue that the fight against the state and the fight against patriarchy are one struggle.

Core passage idea

Paraphrase · Modern copyrighted work

Hierarchy in the home and hierarchy in the state share a root, so liberation must dismantle domination everywhere at once rather than seizing power.

It insists feminism without anti-authoritarianism, and anarchism without feminism, are each incomplete and self-defeating.

To avoid a bubble

Pair with Voltairine de Cleyre, The Voltairine de Cleyre Reader.

Reading note

Read it as a conversation across eras, tracking how figures like Emma Goldman are reclaimed by later anarcha-feminists.

Best paired with

Voltairine de Cleyre, The Voltairine de Cleyre Reader
