RAG at the Anarchist Bookfair

Some members of RAG will be giving a workshop at the Anarchist Bookfair in Liberty Hall, Dublin 1, Sat 8th March, entitled "Best positions for Anarchism" : discussing why sexual health is important for activists and activism. It is at 3pm sharp, is open to all, and should be interesting!

At 4pm, there will be a talk from American historian and feminist Martha Ackelsberg. Who wrote the wonderful book "Free Women of Spain". Her talk is entitled, “The Trials of Theory and Practice: Spanish Anarchism, Mujeres Libres, and the Struggle for the Emancipation of Women”

RAG will also have a stall at the bookfair, selling anarchist and feminist books, zines and other goodies.

At tomorrow evening's RAG meeting (Mon March 2nd; 7:30, Seomra Spraoi - address below) we will be having a discussion on the organisation of family life in capitalism today, its implications for women in particular and what alternatives there might be.
