An international best-seller, first published in 1970 when Shulamith Firestone was just twenty-five years old, The Dialectic of Sex broke new ground in presenting a theory of politics for the women's liberation movement. Firestone posits that feminism is the key radical ideology, the missing link between Marx and Freud, uniting the political with the personal. The book remains of pressing relevance today - a testament to Firestone's startlingly prescience.

Shulamith Firestone was born in Ottowa, Canada, in 1945. She grew up in the midwest United States and attended Yavneh of Telshe Yeshiva, Washington University, and the Art Institute of Chicago, from which she received a bachelor of fine arts in painting. She was founder of the women's liberation movement and editor of Notes, a journal of radical feminism. Firestone's The Dialectic of Sex was published when she was just twenty-five years old and became a bestseller, as well as the first book of the women's liberation movement to propound a feminist theory of sex. She died in 2012.
