A Revolutionary Legacy: Past, Present and Future

From ROSA LUXEMBURG, WOMENS LIBERATION AND MARX'S PHILOSOPHY OF REVOLUTION by Raya Dunayevskaya

"When [Clara] Zetkin proposed to the 1910 Second International Women's Conference that an International Women's Day be adopted, it was an act of solidarity with the organizing struggles of the American garment workers who had erupted in the "Uprising of the 20,000" the year before."

From WOMEN'S LIBERATION AND THE DIALECTICS OF REVOLUTION: REACHING FOR THE FUTURE, by Raya Dunayevskaya

"There came, with the celebration of International Women's Day [1979], a mass outpouring of women bearing the banner, "We made the revolution for freedom, and got unfreedom, which may very well have opened Chapter 2 of the Iranian Revolution."
