Mandragon is a bawdy tale full of the blackest of humor. The Mandragon is a hermaphrodite, a creature who toys with both sexes; a magician, who reads people's minds and makes both people and objects obey his will; a seer, who travels into the future; and a prophet who brings his tribe back to his home country, Tinieblas, to cure the drought-wracked land.

The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution

âNo one can understand how feminism has evolved without reading this radical, inflammatory second-wave landmark.â âNaomi WolfOriginally published in 1970, when Shulamith Firestone was just twenty-five years old, and going on to become a bestseller, The Dialectic of Sex was the first book of the womenâs liberation movement to put forth a feminist theory of politics.Beginning with a look at the radical and grassroots history of the first wave (with its foundation in the abolition movement of the time), Firestone documents its major victory, the granting of the vote to women in 1920, and the fifty years of ridicule that followed. She goes on to deftly synthesize the work of Freud, Marx, de Beauvoir, and Engels to create a cogent argument for feminist revolution. Identifying women as a caste, she declares that they must seize the means of reproductionâfor as long as women (and only women) are required to bear and rear children, they will be singled out as inferior. Ultimately she presents feminism as the key radical ideology, the missing link between Marx and Freud, uniting their visions of the political and the personal. In the wake of recent headlines bemoaning womenâs squandered fertility and the ongoing debate over the appropriate role of genetics in the future of humanity, The Dialectic of Sex is revealed as remarkably relevant to todayâs societyâa testament to Shulamith Firestoneâs startlingly prescient vision.
