These essays and lectures explore marriage, religion, the state, prisons and protest. De Cleyre speaks for poor people, immigrant workers and women with little control over their lives. Her arguments ask what freedom means when others hold power over your daily choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dominant Idea explores how beliefs shape conduct. Sex Slavery and They Who Marry Do Ill challenge marriage as ownership. Anarchism and American Traditions disputes the claim that anarchism is foreign and violent, while Direct Action argues for winning rights through action. Throughout, de Cleyre draws on personal experience and questions even her own movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeliefs that govern lives\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore why people fail to act on their convictions, and how ideals shape their choices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarriage under scrutiny\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet a fierce argument against treating a wife as someone else's property.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower behind belief\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow de Cleyre's argument that rulers and priests help sustain one another's authority.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAn American anarchist tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e – Consider her challenge to an audience that sees anarchism as foreign and violent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRights through action\u003c\/strong\u003e – Discover her case for acting directly rather than waiting for petitions to bring change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers of political thought, feminism and American radical history, and anyone curious about how a reformer argues in public.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now, and let de Cleyre's question sharpen your own ideas about freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":58289288380764,"sku":"LOA-C448-EB","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook — Coming soon","offer_id":58289288413532,"sku":"LOA-C448-AU","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":58289288446300,"sku":"LOA-C448-PB","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":58289288479068,"sku":"LOA-C448-HC","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/0448_Selected_Works_of_Voltairine_de_Cleyre__standard__ebook__pages-390__trim-6x9in__1800x2700px.jpg?v=1784149660","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/it\/products\/selected-works-of-voltairine-de-cleyre","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
