ITEM OVERVIEW
If you've read Red Dirt: Growing Up Okie, you know why Dunbar-Ortiz earns the title of founder of the radical feminist movement. Poor, uneducated, and female, she wasn't the typical organizer. But that didn't stop her. She was everywhere—a part of the ground breaking journal No More Fun and Games,the Valerie Solanas defense campaign, the Cuban Venceremos Brigade, SDS, Weather Underground, African National Congress, American Indian Movement and much, much more. War, imperialism, racism...here's someone that did something about it. For everyone growing up in the backwoods of nowhere, read this and fight back. "The story, bold and honest, of Roxanne's extraordinary journey—political, ideological, personal—in and out of every important feminist and revolutionary movement of that remarkable time in American history. She illuminates all those experiences with unsparing scrutiny and emerges with a fierce, admirable independence." —Howard Zinn
