Reviews

""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
