Abstract
Addressing the lesbian and socialist feminist milieu of the Women Writers Union, the Freedom Socialist Party, and Radical Women in San Francisco during the 1970s and 1980s, this chapter focuses on the s work of poets Merle Woo and Nellie Wong, advocates of a radical leftist form of Asian-American writing, and their comrade Karen Brodine, whose work addresses gendered labour and neglected histories of intergenerational, gendered radicalism. The chapter focuses in particular on their writing about work and its relation to conditions of gender, sexuality, and race, as well as their response to the New Right in the 1980s.
