Sobre El Autor
Lynn Segal was born in 1944 in Australia. She emigrated to London in 1970 and for the next decade her main energies went into grass roots politics in Islington, North London, helping to set up and run a women's centre and an alternative newspaper. In 1979, the three friends, Segal, Sheila Rowbotham mostrar más and Hilary Wainwright wrote Beyond the Fragments, arguing for broader alliances among trade unionists, feminists and left political groups. In 1984, publisher Ursula Owen invited her to join the Virago Advisory Board and write an appraisal of the state of feminism, resulting in her first book, Is the Future Female? Troubled Thoughts on Contemporary Feminism. Her next book was Slow Motion: Changing Masculinities, Changing Men. In 2015 her title, Out Of Time: The Pleasures and Perils of Aging, made The New Zealand Best Seller List. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Radical Happiness: Moments of Collective Joy por Lynne Segal
Unfinished. I felt as if this book was composed of synthesis rather than analysis, and the disparate chapters didn't add up to a clear thesis. That said, I really enjoyed the later chapters about utopias and would love an entire book exploring the impact and possibilities of utopian fiction and ideals to create social change.
you'd think that buying a book from verso the reader would have been educated in the basic structure of lgbtq history and women's liberation movements. apparently not so. took till page 212 to even get to the thesis of the book, and then it never finishes. boring and tiresome and still didn't inform any of the straight sex i've ever had. would not recommend.
