Maintain the Rage by Renate Klein

When we had the idea to put together an anthology of old women’s writings, Susan and I hoped from the very beginning that this volume to celebrate the 30th birthday of our publishing company Spinifex Press would be our present to young women. The result Not Dead Yet: Feminism, Passion and Women’s Liberation exceeded our expectations. Many of the 56 women over 70 writing in this book, want the exhilaration, stresses, anger and joy they experienced through their 40 or more years of feminist activism passed on to younger women. The passing on of feminist knowledge in our increasingly fast-read, fast-experienced and fast-forget-everything time is truly of the utmost importance.
