In the Worldwide Family of Militant Women

Book •
Arlene Eisen's memoir traces her political formation from the 1950s through the 1980s, focusing on encounters with Black liberation, Vietnamese anti-imperialist struggle, and transnational networks of militant women.

Written in scene-based, novelistic vignettes, the book mixes personal history with political reflection to recover often-forgotten practices of internationalist solidarity.

Eisen situates women's militant organizing—both in the U.S.

and the Global South—against the rise of imperialism, patriarchy, and reactionary forces, drawing practical lessons for younger generations.

The memoir emphasizes sustained revolutionary commitment, organizational practice, and the necessity of anti-imperialist political unity across borders.

Published by Iskra Books, it is available freely as a PDF from the publisher and for purchase.
