Women, Resistance and Revolution : A History of Women and Revolution in the Modern World
In Women, Resistance and Revolution, Sheila Rowbotham traces four centuries of feminist struggle and revolutionary politics. She reveals how women have confronted the dual challenges of an unjust state system and patriarchal social prejudice. First published in 1972, Women, Resistance and Revolution is a major statement of second-wave feminism on the need for revolution within the revolution. It is also a rich and expansive history of radical consciousness.
Rowbotham charts the acceleration of feminist activity and theory after the French Revolution, despite the ambiguities of 'liberty, equality, fraternity' for women. She examines pivotal works such as Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Flora Tristan's Workers' Union and Engels's Origin of the Family, showing how women's liberation became a live and often explosive issue in emerging socialist movements. Her narrative spans feminist currents in revolutionary Russia and China, exploring fascinating creative experiments during early Bolshevik rule, and extends to women's roles in anti-colonial struggles in Algeria, Cuba and Vietnam.
This classic work remains as urgent, vivid and inspiring as ever.

In Bloom
Flowers and plants are a staple of British life. Nearly 40% of our population considers themselves to be gardeners, making this and associated activities a national pursuit. And yet, while we hold endless discussions over how to seed, grow, and disseminate our cherished plants, we still known relatively little about how they were collected, exchanged, circulated, identified, and modified, and how much art has shaped our understanding and appreciation of them. This publication, designed to accompany the homonymous exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, explores some of these plant stories through highlights from Oxford’s collections. Bringing together historical and scientific expertise, art and material culture, traditional and contemporary artworks, this book ultimately reflects on the long-lasting impact of flora on our society – and of us on it.
