| Summary |
"This work covers the history of the individualist feminism movement and of three prominent publications that rose in its defense: The Word, Liberty and Lucifer the Light Bearer. These often-overlooked journals, which published some of the most important ideas on feminism, anarchism and personal liberty, are fully covered herein." "Biographies and selections of writing from contributors to these magazines feature the remarkable women and men who laid many of the foundations for modern feminist thought. Included among those profiled are Angela Heywood, who first defended abortion based on women's self-ownership of her body, and Lillian Harman, who was jailed at 16 for being married without state or church ceremonies." |

"These profiles and writings provide insight into the lives and work of these important but often neglected early feminists."--Jacket. |
