The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution by Shulamith Firestone

It’s hard to know how to rate this book—it’s definitely an interesting read, and a polemic about everything Firestone hates about being a woman in the 1970s (fair). I don’t think that her premise—that all societal problems are basically an extension of sexism—holds up, but she does fantastic readings of Freud under feminism, and her push for women to seize the means of reproduction through cybernetics feels very ahead of its time.
