Shulamith Firestone

A Feminist and a Futurist By: Anya Zubic

Firestones Core Argument

We are no longer just animals. And the kingdom of nature does not reign absolute. ... “Thus the 'natural' is not necessarily a 'human' value. Humanity has begun to outgrow nature: we can no longer justify the maintenance of a discriminatory sex class system on grounds of its origins in Nature”.

- Shulamith Firestone The Dialect of Sex, 1970

Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth.

- Simone de BeauvoirThe Second Sex, 1952
