[lbo-talk] Deconstructionism in contemporary leftish discourse

[robert wood]

Carrol, That was definitely Betty Friedan's approach to the question, which
has definitely affected her legacy.  Within radical feminism, I believe the
term was 'trashing' and Jo Freeman has a significant piece on the topic,
that I believe Doug has cited on a number of occasions.  From a more
historical perspective, Alice Echols' Daring to Bad offers a pretty good
history of some of the tensions and struggles, although it is very New York
focused.  Robert Wood
