"Questioning the fundamental assumptions of our political and cultural state of affairs, Ellen Willis demands that we radically rethink some of our most pressing national crises, from crime, to race, to the collapse of liberalism, to sexual repression, the need to reinvent politics in the service of our own needs, individual and collective.

Arguing that our democracy suffers from a lack of true freedom, Willis offers a way of thinking about our country and ourselves, as well as our passions and deepest dreams, that will forever alter the way we imagine our political and cultural landscape."--BOOK JACKET.
