A Rebel’s Guide to Eleanor Marx Siobhan Brown

Bookmarks Publications, 64 pages, £3

Eleanor Marx was an agitator, an organiser and a writer. Whether organising support for refugees fleeing France after the crushing of the Paris Commune, or galvanising support for the new unionism in the 1880s, her belief in the power of workers to organise and change the world for the better remained central to her life. Her words and actions have helped change our world.

She was inspired by the thousands of women workers who struck back, and she developed new and important insights on questions of sexual equality and socialism.

This addition to the popular “Rebel’s Guide” series places her back alongside other revolutionary leaders, where she belongs.
