Description
This is not a book about Marx. Rather, it is an investigation of the women seen in his portraits and the women in his life. Feminist antennas twitch to tell a different tale about the women of Marxian heritage. Author Valérie Lefebvre-Faucher traces the untold stories of Jenny Marx, Eleanor Marx, Laura Marx, and others, upturning the picture we have of the early days of modern communism.
