""Dangerous Liaisons" by Cinzia Arruzza is most certainly a well
written book and ideal for anyone interested in the political and
theoretical history of the relationship between feminism and
Marxism. If anyone is looking for a history of this relationship, I
can recommend this book without hesitation." --Chris Byron,
graduate teaching assistant in philosophy, the University of
Georgia
"Offers an acute, critical and refreshingly open analysis of
feminist theories and, best of all, links the development of theory
to the historical and contemporary political issues facing women
activists. A perfect book for students but also for anyone seeking
to learn more about the ongoing dialogue between Marxism(s) and
feminism(s). Aruzza's presentation of complicated theoretical
debates is fair, accessible, and lively; her wide-ranging
historical account hits the highlights (and lows) of feminist
engagements with the revolutionary left across Europe and in the
U.S." --Johanna Brenner, professor emeritus, Portland State
University
"Although Cinzia Arruzza calls her aim 'modest, ' her book is
anything but. She provides a masterful survey of the vexed
relations between feminism and socialism over the course of more
than two centuries. The result is not only a lucid overview but
also a penetrating intervention into current debates. Perfectly
timed to enlighten new generations of activists and theorists,
Arruzza's book offers the best short introduction to a question
that is as relevant as ever today: How, in the wake of a capitalist
crisis of global dimensions, can struggles against male domination
be made to synergize with struggles against neoliberalism?" --Nancy
Fraser, professor, the New School
