article have been presented at the Socialst Feminist Conference, Yellow Springs, Ohio, July 1975; at Women's Week, Brown University, April, 1976; and in WIN (June 3, 1976) as "What is Socialist Feminism?"</note> <div> <p> At some level, perhaps not too well articulated, socialist feminism has been around for a long time. You are a woman in a capitalist society. You get pissed off: about the job, about the bills, about your husband (or ex), about the kids' school, the housework, being pretty, not being pretty, being looked at, not being looked at (and either way, not listened to), etc. If you think about all these things and how they fit together and what has to be changed, and then you look around for some words to hold all these thoughts together in abbreviated form, you'd almost have to come up with something like "socialist feminism." </p> <p>A lot of us came to socialist feminism in just that way: we were reaching for a word/term/phrase that would begin to express <emph>all</emph> of our concerns, all of our principles in a way that neither "socialist" nor "feminist" seemed to. I have to admit that most socialist feminists I know are not too happy with the term "socialist feminist" either. On the one hand it is too long (I have no hopes for a hyphenated mass movement); on the other hand it is much too short for what is, after all, really socialist internationalist anti-racist anti-heterosexist feminism.</p> <p>The trouble with taking a new label of any kind is that it creates an instant aura of sectarianism. "Socialist feminism" becomes a challenge, a mystery, an issue in and of itself. We have speakers, conferences, articles on "socialist feminism"—though we know perfectly well that either "socialism" or "feminism" is too huge and too inclusive to be a subject for any sensible speech, conference, or article. People, including avowed socialist feminists, ask themselves anxiously, "What <emph>is</emph> socialist feminism?" There is a kind of expectation that it is (or is about to be at any moment, maybe in the next speech, conference or article) a brilliant synthesis of world historical proportions—an evolutionary leap beyond <persName key="Karl Marx" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q9061">Marx</persName>, <persName key="Sigmund Freud" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q9215" >Freud</persName> and <persName key="Mary Wollstonecraft" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q101638">Wollstonecraft</persName>. Or that it will turn out to be nothing, a fad seized on by a few disgruntled feminists and female socialists, a temporary distraction.</p> <p>I want to try to cut through some of the mystery which has grown up around socialist feminism. Here I am going to focus on our "theory"—the way we look at and analyze the world. I am not going to deal with our total outlook as socialist feminists because I want to stick as closely as possible to the interface of the two main traditions we grow out of—socialism and feminism. </p> <p> A logical way to start is to look at socialism and feminism separately. How does a socialist—more precisely a Marxist—look at the world? How does a feminist look at the world? To begin with, Marxism and feminism have something important in common: they are <emph>critical</emph> ways of looking at the world. Both rip away popular mythology and "common-sense wisdom'' and force us to look at experience in a new way. Both seek to understand the world—not in terms of static balances and symmetries (as in conventional social science), but in terms of <emph>antagonisms</emph>. So they lead to conclusions which are jarring and disturbing at the same time that they are liberating. There is no way to have a Marxist or a feminist outlook and remain a spectator. To understand the reality laid bare by these analyses is to move into action to change it.</p> <p>Here I am going to restrict myself to what I see as the core insights of Marxism and feminism, and state these as briefly and starkly as possible: Marxism (in 20 words or less) addresses itself to the class dynamics of capitalist society. Every social scientist knows that capitalist societies are characterized by more or less severe, systemic inequality. Marxism understands this inequality to arise from processes which are <emph>intrinsic</emph> to capitalism as an economic system. A minority of people (the capitalist class) own all the factories/energy sources/resources on which everyone else depends in order to live. The great majority (the working class) must, out of sheer necessity, work, under conditions set by the capitalists, for the wages the capitalists pay. Since the capitalists make their profits by paying less in wages than the value of what the workers actually produce, the relationship between these two classes is necessarily one of irreconcilable antagonism: the capitalist class owes its very existence to the continued exploitation of the working class. What maintains this system of class rule is, in the last analysis, force. The capitalist class controls (directly or indirectiy) the means of organized violence represented by the state—policemen, jails, etc. Only by waging a revolutionary struggle aimed at the seizure of state power can the working class free itself, and, ultimately, all people.</p> <p>Feminism addresses itself to another familiar inequality. All human societies are marked by some degree of inequality between the sexes. If we survey human societies at a glance, sweeping through history and across continents, we see that they have commonly been characterized<pb facs="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BucknellDSC/heresies/main/issue01/images/01_007.jpg" />by: the subjugation of women to male authority, both within the family and in the community in general; the objectification of women as a form of property; a sexual division of labor in which women are confined to such activities as childraising, performing personal services for adult males and specified (usually low-prestige) forms of productive labor. </p> <p>Feminists, struck by the near-universality of these things have looked for explanations in the biological "givens" which underlie all human social existence: men are physically stronger than women on the average, especially compared to pregnant women or women who are nursing babies. Furthermore, men have the power to make women pregnant. Thus the forms that sexual inequality takes—however various they may be from culture to culture—rest, in the last analysis, on what is clearly a physical advantage males hold over females. That is to say, they rest on violence, or the threat of violence.</p> <p>The ancient, biological roots of male supremacy—the fact of male violence—are commonly obscured by the laws and conventions which regulate the relations between the sexes in any particular culture. But they are there, according to a feminist analysis. The possibility of male assault stands as a constant warning to "bad" (rebellious, aggressive) women, and drives "good" women into complicity with male supremacy. The reward for being "good" ("pretty," submissive) is protection from random male violence and, in some cases, economic security.</p> <p>I hope I have written these capsule summaries of Marxism and feminism in such a way that some similarities of approach show through. Marxism rips away the myths about "democracy" and "pluralism" to reveal a system of class rule that rests on <emph>forcible</emph> exploitation. Feminism cuts through myths about "instinct" and romantic love to expose male rule as a rule of force. Both analyses compel us to look at a fundamental injustice. If either, or both, make you uncomfortable, they were meant to! The choice is to reach for the comfort of the myths or as Marx put it, to work for a social order which does not require myths to sustain it. </p> <p>Having gone to the trouble to provide these thumbnail sketches of Marxism and feminism, the obvious thing to do would be just to add them up and call the sum "socialist feminism." In fact, this is probably how most socialist feminists operate most of the time—as a kind of hybrid, pushing feminism in socialist circles, socialism in feminist circles. Practically speaking, I think this is a perfectly reasonable way to operate a lot of the time. One trouble with leaving things like that, though, is that it keeps people wondering "Well, what is she <emph>really</emph>?" or demanding of us "What is the principal contradiction?" Such questions often stop us in our tracks: It sounds so compelling and authoritative and logical: "Make a choice! Be one or another!" Yet we know that there is a political consistency to socialist feminism. We are not hybrids or fence-sitters.</p> <p>To get to that political consistency we have to go beyond the capsule versions of Marxism and feminism I laid out. We have to differentiate ourselves, as feminists from other kinds of feminists, and as Marxists from other kinds of Marxists. We have to stake out a socialist feminist kind of feminism and a socialist feminist kind of socialism. Only then is there a possibility that things will "add up" to something more than an uneasy juxtaposition. </p> <p> First, what is our outlook as feminists and how is it different from that of other feminists? I think most radical feminists and socialist feminists would agree with my capsule characterization of feminism <emph>as far as it goes</emph>. The trouble with radical feminism from a socialist feminist point of view, is that it doesn't go any farther: it remains transfixed by the universality of male supremacy: things have never really changed; all social systems are "patriarchies"; imperialism, militarism and capitalism are all simply expressions of innate male aggressiveness. And so on. </p> <p>The problem with this is not only that it leaves out men (and the possibility of reconciliation with them on a truly human and egalitarian basis) but that it leaves out an awful lot about women. For example, to discount a socialist country such as China as a "patriarchy"—as I have heard some radical feminists do—is to ignore the real struggles and achievements of millions of women. Socialist feminists, while agreeing that there is something timeless and universal about women's oppression, have insisted that it takes different forms in different settings, and that the <emph>differences</emph> are of vital importance. There is a difference between a society in which sexism is expressed by female infanticide and a society in which sexism takes the form of unequal representation on the Central Committee. And the difference is worth dying for. </p> <p>One of the historical variations on the theme of sexism which ought to concern all feminists is the set of changes that came with the transition from an agrarian society to industrial capitalism. This is no academic issue. The social system which industrial capitalism replaced was in fact a <emph>patriarchal</emph> one, and I am using that term now in its original sense to mean a system in which production is centered in the household and is presided over by the oldest male. The fact is that industrial capitalism came along and tore the rug out from under that system: production went into the factories; individuals broke off from the family to become "free" wage earners. To say that capitalism disrupted the patriarchal organization of production and family life is not, of course, to say that capitalism abolished male supremacy! But the particular<pb facs="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BucknellDSC/heresies/main/issue01/images/01_008.jpg" />forms of sex oppression we experience today are, to a significant degree, <emph>recent</emph> developments. A huge historical discontinuity lies between us and true patriarchy. If we are to understand our experience as women today, we must move beyond the biological invariants of human experience to a consideration of <emph>capitalism</emph> as a system. </p> <p>There are other ways I could have gotten to the same point. I could have said simply that as feminists we are most interested in the most oppressed women—poor and working-class women, third-world women—and for <emph>that</emph> reason we are led to a need to comprehend and confront captialism. I could have said that we need to address ourselves to the class system simply because women are members of classes. But I am trying to bring out something else about our perspective: that there is no way to understand sexism as it acts on our lives—never mind class oppression for a minute!—without putting it in the historical context of capitalism. </p> <p>Now let's go on to our outlook as Marxists. Again, I think most socialist feminists would agree with my capsule summary <emph>as far as it goes</emph>. And the trouble again is that there are a lot of people (I'll call them "mechanical Marxists") who do not go any further. To these people, the only "real" and important things that go on in capitalist society are those that relate to the productive process or the conventional political sphere. From such a point of view, every other part of experience and social existence—education, sexuality, recreation, the family, art, music, housework (you name it)—is peripheral to the central dynamics of social change; it is part of the "superstructure" or "culture."</p> <p>Socialist feminists are in a very different camp. We (along with many Marxists who are not feminists) see capitalism as a social and cultural <emph>totality</emph>. We understand that, in its search for markets, capitalism is driven to penetrate every nook and cranny of social existence. Especially in the monopoly capitalism phase, the realm of consumption is every bit as important, just from an economic point of view as the realm of production. So we cannot understand class struggle as something confined to issues of wages and hours, or confined only to workplace issues. Class struggle occurs in every arena where the interests of the classes conflict, and that includes education, health, the arts, etc. We aim to transform not only the ownership of the means of production, but the totality of social existence.</p> <p>So, as Marxists, we come to feminism from a completely different place than the "mechanical Marxists." Because we see monopoly capitalism as a political/economic/cultural totality, we have room within our <emph>Marxist</emph> framework for feminist issues which have nothing ostensibly to do with production or "politics," issues that have to do with "private" life. </p> <p> Furthermore, in our brand of Marxism, there is no "woman question," no big mystery about women—because we never compartmentalized women off to the "superstructure“ in the first place. Marxists of a mechanical bent continually ponder the issue of the unwaged woman (the housewife): is she really a member of the working class? That is, does she really produce surplus value? We say, of course housewives are members of the working class—<emph>not</emph> because we have some elaborate proof that they really do produce surplus value—but because we understand a class as being composed of <emph>people</emph>, and as having a <emph>social</emph> existence quite apart from the capitalist-dominated realm of production. When we think of class in this way, then we see that in fact the women who seemed most peripheral, the housewives, are at the very heart of their class—raising children, holding together families, maintaining the culture and social networks of the community. </p> <p> So we are coming out of a kind of feminism and a kind of Marxism whose interests quite naturally flow together. I think we are in a position now to see why it is that socialist feminism has been such a great mystery. It is a paradox only as long as what you mean by socialism is really "mechanical Marxism" and what you mean by feminism is an ahistorical kind of radical feminism. These things don’t add up; they have nothing in common.</p> <p> But if you put together another kind of socialism and another kind of feminism, as I have tried to define them, you do get some common ground. And that is one of the most important things about socialist feminism today: that it is a space—free from the constrictions of a truncated kind of feminism and a truncated version of Marxism—a space in which we can develop the kind of politics that address the political/economic/cultural <emph>totality</emph> of monopoly capitalist society. We could go only so far with the available feminisms, the conventional Marxism, and then we had to break out to something that is not so restrictive and so incomplete in its view of the world. We had to take a new name, "socialist feminism," in order to assert our determination to comprehend the <emph>whole</emph> of our experience and to forge a politics that reflects the totality of that comprehension.</p> <p> At that I may have fulfilled my mission of demystifying socialist feminism, but I don't want to leave this theory as a "space" or a common ground. Things are beginning to grow in that ground. We are closer to a synthesis in our understanding of sex and class, capitalism and male domination, than we were a few years ago. Here l will indicate very sketchily one such line of thought:</p> <list> <item>1. The Marxist/feminist understanding that class and sex domination rest "ultimately" on force is correct, and this remains the most devastating critique of sexist/capitalist society. But there is a lot to that "ultimately.'' In a <pb n="7" facs="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BucknellDSC/heresies/main/issue01/images/01_009.jpg" /> day-to-day sense, most people acquiesce to sex and class domination without being held in line by the threat of violence, and often without even the threat of material deprivation. </item> <item>2. It is very important, then, to figure out what, if not the direct application of force, keeps things going. In the case of class, a great deal has been written already about why the American working class lacks militant class consciousness. Certainly ethnic divisions especially the Black/white division, are a key to the answer. But, I would argue, in addition to being divided, the working class has been socially <emph>atomized</emph>: working-class neighborhoods have been destroyed and allowed to decay; life has become increasingly privatized and inward-looking; skills once possessed by the working class have been expropriated by the capitalist class; capitalist-controlled "mass culture'' has edged out almost all indigenous working class culture and institutions. Instead of collectivity and self-reliance as a class there is mutual isolation and collective <emph>dependency</emph> on the capitalist class. </item> <item>3. The subjugation of women, in ways characteristic of late capitalist society, has been a key to this process of class atomization. To put it another way: the forces which have atomized working-class life and promoted cultural/material dependency on the capitalist class are the <emph>same</emph> forces which have served to perpetuate the subjugation of women. It is women who are most isolated in what has become an increasingly privatized family existence (even when they work outside the home too). It is, in many instances, women's skills (productive skills, healing, midwifery) which have been discredited or banned to make way for commodities. It is, above all, women who are required to be utterly passive/uncritical/dependent (i.e. "feminine") in the face of the pervasive capitalist penetration of private life. Historically, late capitalist penetration of working-class life has singled out women as prime targets of pacification (or "feminization") because <emph>women are the culture-bearers of their class</emph>. </item> <item>4. It follows that there is a fundamental interconnectedness between women's struggle and what is traditionally conceived as class struggle. Not all women's struggles have an inherently anti-capitalist thrust (particularly not those which seek only to advance the power and wealth of special groups of women), but all those which build <emph>collectivity</emph> and <emph>collective confidence</emph> among women are vitally important to the building of class consciousness. Conversely, not all class struggles have an inherently anti-sexist thrust (especially not those which cling to pre-industrial patriarchal values) but all those which seek to build the social and cultural autonomy of the working class are necessarily linked to the struggle for women's liberation.</item> </list> <p>This is one direction which socialist feminist analysis is taking. No one is expecting a synthesis to emerge which will collapse socialist and feminist struggles into the same thing. The capsule summaries I gave earlier retain their "ultimate" truth: there are crucial aspects of capitalist domination (such as racial oppression) which a purely feminist perspective simply cannot account for or deal with—without bizarre distortions, that is. There are crucial aspects of sex oppression (such as male violence within the family) into which socialist thought has little insight—again without a lot of stretching and distortion. Hence the need to continue to be socialists <emph>and</emph> feminists. But there is enough of a synthesis, both in what we think and what we do, for us to begin to develop a self-confident identity as <emph>socialist feminists</emph>. </p> </div> </body> <back> <p>Barbara Ehrenreich is the co-author, with <persName key="Deirdre English" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q5252562">Deirdre English</persName>, of <title>Witches, Midwives and Nurses: A History of Women Healers</title>, and <title>Complaints and Disorders: The Sexual Politics of Sickness</title> (Feminist Press, New York).

<epigraph> <p>The editorial collective of this first issue of <title key="Heresies: A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q17022558"><emph>Heresies</emph></title> shares not a political line but a commitment to the development of coherent feminist theory in the context of practical work. The time for reformulating old positions or merely attacking sexism is past. Now we must take on the most problematic aspects of feminist theory, esthetic theory and political theory. We are not only analyzing our own oppression in order to put an end to it, but also exploring concrete ways of transforming society into one that is socially just and culturally free.</p> <p>The role of the arts and the artist in the political process is our specific arena. By confronting the very real differences in our own attitudes towards art and politics, which reflect those in the wider, feminist community, we have uncovered networks connecting a broad range of forms and ideologies. As material for the first issue came in to us, we found that no hard line could be drawn between texts and visual material. There are, therefore, few "illustrations" here, but independent statements expressed visually, verbally, or in combination, sharing the same power and the same intent, and indicating that word and image can be equal ingredients in politically effective art.</p> <p>We found no solutions to the issues raised, but we are finding approaches that feel fresher and more satisfying. Working together toward collective decisions was entirely different from working alone or as part of conventional hierarchies. Each of us worked on every page of this magazine, a slow and frustrating process, but one from which we learned a great deal about each other, about editorial and mechanical skills, about the collective process itself, about our subject—feminism, art and politics— and about what it means to be political in a real, active, living situation. We mean to go on from these beginnings and we look to the larger feminist community for participation, response and criticism. Together we can work toward some answers. We have nothing to lose but our illusions.</p> </epigraph> <byline><persName key="Joan Braderman" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q28911659">Joan Braderman</persName>, <persName key="Harmony Hammond" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q5659529">Harmony Hammond</persName>, <persName key="Elizabeth Hess" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q106878848">Elizabeth Hess</persName>, <persName key="Arlene Ladden" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q106878856">Arlene Ladden</persName>, <persName key="Lucy R.

What is their connection? In theory? In reality?</p> <p>Once there was a women's art center that was very excited about an "Art as Work" seminar I proposed. They wanted a short personal resumé to follow the course description in the catalogue — to let students know who I was, where I was coming from: Harmony Hammond is a lesbian feminist artist who has exhibited at Gallery X and Gallery Z and taught at R. University and C. University. They wanted my labels and then did not like them. No seminar. Really, I was coming on too strong. Couldn't I use a different word? Or just not say it at all? Would I be teaching art or politics? They were an "Art" center. They were afraid, they said, afraid I would jeopardize...</p> <p>Jeopardize what? Their art? Their teaching? Their students? Their bodies? Their minds? Their sexuality? Their politics? Their power? Their authority? Their thinking? They did not know, they were just afraid...</p> <p>I did not fit their concept of a feminist and therefore I was dangerous.</p> <p>Labels. The meaninglessness of labels. The power of labels. The confining. What does it mean to be a lesbian, radical feminist, activist, mother, artist? I am all of these individually and combined. It means I am political. It means I want to change existing power relationships. A list of experiences. The power of labels is the power of ideas and action combined.</p> <p>The political mother, the political artist, the political feminist, and the political lesbian refuse to be second-class. They take action by ''doing.'' They refuse to be isolated into separatist stances, and they become a total whole. They add up to what <persName key="Charlotte Bunch" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q5085869">Charlotte Bunch</persName> has called a ''non-aligned feminism"—not automatically attached to one line of feminism (socialist/left vs. reformist vs. cultural/spiritual) but rather evaluating each individual issue and situation from an independent feminist perspective.</p> <p>Lesbian. Radical feminist. Activist. Mother. Artist.</p> <p>The common denominator is woman. Women are oppressed as a class. This oppression underlies the patriarchal institutions of capitalism, imperialism, racism, and heterosexism. To end all forms of oppression we must first end the oppression of all women regardless ot sexuality or economic class, racial or cultural background.</p> <p>Lesbian. Radical feminist. Activist. Mother. Artist.</p> <p>Together they form my feminism. Feminism is my politics. My art both is formed by and is a statement of my feminism.</p> <signed>H.H.</signed> </div> <div> <p> While l'd always worked in social programs, I never considered myself a political person. Political groups so often revealed confused priorities that I inevitably ended up by questioning my own. But feminism was different–so much was personally at stake. If I questioned my commitment (how can I be amused by this or not outraged by that), I soon found I was not amused and I was outraged by things I might once have considered innocuous or simply unalterable. Feminism had become a persistent way of living and thinking and the most important awareness of my life.</p> <p>Today I trust the impulses calling out for radical change because they're rooted in a lifetime of self-analysis continuously and consistently validated by other women. Frustration, it seems, is being resolved in conviction and action and the awareness of this power has been startling to me. Needless to say, art which strengthens that awareness is exhilarating.</p> <p>I am a medievalist, I was attracted to the field by the escapist fantasies of folklore and romance. But I now feel that all art—whether ancient or modern—can be seen and judged within a feminist context.</p> <p/> <signed>A.L.</signed> </div> <div> <p> When pressed by the people who ask "What do you do?" at times I call myself an artist and then no one knows what to expect. The term is so vague and useless that it does not begin to identify a point of view. The fact that art work keeps the bourgeoisie in style, and the bourgeoisie keeps all the art, suggests that most artists don't bother with politics and ideology, instead they are united by a lifestyle: generally you must privatize your work, hang your head to the left late at night in the bars, and think deeply about how your work will be understood in the melancholic future; be concerned about your isolation from the community.</p> <p>It is difficult not to become a cynic. Opportunism knocks. Even the women's movement is another stepping stone towards critical recognition. Most people are more concerned with the objects we are producing than the world into which we place our work. I make abstract paintings and super-8 films—but not for a living. I work as an editor for a left news magazine called <title key="Seven Days" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q27717194"><emph>Seven Days</emph></title>. This is where I learned the business of developing an audience and disseminating information. <emph>Heresies</emph> is an attempt to politicize the art world; a chance to attack the history of our work as opposed to "documenting" it.</p> <p>I have been a feminist it seems ever since I noticed I was living with great difficulty; it came out during the 1960s—but that's a long story. In the 1970s, feminism has tendencies which serve merely to push liberal institutions to their farthest extremes. This has left many women caught in a dubious struggle; a recognition of strength and an inability to act. The feminist movement should not work towards gaining economic power, but towards developing a coherent ideology if we are to participate in change and work towards socialism. (You knew I'd say that.) The point is that an understanding of feminism without an analysis of class is like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Capitalism is so efficient that it can sustain its own alternatives; likewise the art world—one more radical magazine.</p> <signed>E.H.</signed> </div> <pb facs="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BucknellDSC/heresies/main/issue01/images/01_005.jpg"/> <div> <p> I am a feminist first and a socialist second, rather than a Socialist-Feminist. Not because I don't care about what happens to the oppressed men in the world. Not because I'm against an ideally democratic socialism. But because women's oppression crosses economic-class lines. It's a matter of focus. Clearly the needs of welfare-class women are most urgent and those of upper-class women are least urgent. Some socialists say that getting rid of patriarchy won't change the world. I wonder. Even in revolutionary socialist movements women must maintain an autonomous base. Revolution for Every<emph>man</emph> isn't the same as real social change; it has taken place in the past without solving the "woman question."</p> <p>In the meantime, living in a capitalist country without a strong Socialist Party provokes an irresistible urge to kill time as a liberal feminist. Even though I'm aware of the dangers of opportunism, reformism, co-optation, and all the slimy horde, I often find myself working for reform rather than revolution because I can't bear to see nothing done.</p> <p>Within the art world, this means I work to get women artists into a system I oppose. Outside, in the real world, this means I want the ERA passed because its going to make a difference in women's lives. I want to see a politically aware feminist culture and I hope that <emph>Heresies</emph> will help create it and help destroy some of the boundaries that separate women from the power to make a better society that will fit our needs as well as men's.</p> <p>(P.S. Because I'm a critic, I've been called a "class enemy" of artists, which is bullshit. I'm exploited by publishers, and perhaps editors, just as artists are exploited by galleries, and perhaps critics. I identify with artists whether or not they identify with me because long experience has shown me that our lives are more or less the same.)</p> <signed>L.R.L.</signed> <signed/> </div> <div> <p> When we decided that each of us in the first issue collective should write an individual statement to put our political differences ''out front,'' I thought it was a fine idea. But trying to write one page about my notion of how feminism relates to Marxism relates to making theory and making films was easier said than done: too much to argue in too little space. So what I wanted to do was write, "please see my article on page x'' where I’ve tried to work out some of these problems in more analytical depth. But my sister-editors said, ''write something personal." They chided me for my rhetorical style and my obsessive? academic? commitment to making ''complete'' arguments. "Who are you in all that," they asked. O.K. I'm a woman, I'm white, I'm 28. I'm a film teacher, I'm a student, I'm a writer, theorist, critic, filmmaker. I do political work—in the feminist community and with a new Coalition (July 4th) thats building toward a mass, progressive peoples' movement in this country. I guess I'm what's come to be called a cultural worker.</p> <p>Often it seems there's just not enough time in each day to do all the things that have to be done. And to earn a living, and write a dissertation, and see the art I care about, and do the laundry, and talk with students, and be with the friends I love, and see the ocean sometimes. Putting it all together, I'd often like a few clones of myself to help out. I juggle what's possible with what's not.</p> <p>Where does the fight for women fit with fighting imperialism? Does working in collectives really help change our deeply entrenched American individualism? How can ''cultural workers'' best advance these struggles? I often argue esthetics with my political comrades. Films, I say, don't have to be simplistic to communicate with mass audiences. We're all subject to subtle propaganda from Hollywood and Madison Avenue. We're all jugglers of contradictions and need to see and hear and read about alternatives to what is. We have to make films that not only say something different but say it <emph>in a different way</emph>. They have to be made in a practical political context, in a coherent theoretical context, and they have to be able to recapture the imaginations of masses of people being lulled to sleep by the crap that's sold as ''mass art." We have to find strategies for making our alternate points of view visible, making peoples' voices heard, our ideas and films seen; find ways of fighting the commercial monopolies that own the air waves, the movie screens, the mass media, that own <emph>us.</emph></p> <p>I argue politics with my feminist sisters. No more separatism, I say. I work on HERESIES to say that and also because—another contradiction—l need community in a country that is in fragments. In short, and as labor people like my grandparents always said: women, artists, men, people; we've got to get organized.</p> <signed>J.B.</signed> </div> <div> <p> What kind of socialist-feminist-artist am I?</p> <p>What kind of socialist artist loves <persName key="Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q148475">Corot</persName> as well as <persName key="Gustave Courbet" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q34618">Courbet</persName> and forgives oil painting its bourgeois origins and abstract expressionism its heraldry of U.S. imperialism?</p> <p>What kind of feminist artist sees pink as a private color to be sparingly used?</p> <p>To the women's movement I would like to bring, as to art, the subtlest perceptions. To political action, I would like to bring, as to art, a precise and delicate imagination. The personal is the political only if you make it so. The connections have to be drawn. Feminism without socialism can create only utopian pockets. And the lifespan of a collective is approximately two years.</p> <p>Socialism without feminism is still patriarchy. But more smug. Try to imagine a classless society run by men. </p> <p>Trying to be part of a collective is a little like being a chameleon set on plaid. I may split apart before I get the pattern right. But somehow it seems worth the pain because I believe community is the highest goal.</p> <p>I believe every woman's life is a little better because of what we are doing.</p> <signed>M.S.</signed> </div> </body> </text> </TEI>

Initially we met anticipating discussions of quilts, pottery and weaving rugs. But discussions of quillwork, poetry, and weaving narratives came up too. It became clear that basic to our concerns was the politics of aesthetics. And in these discussions we couldn't examine either the artifacts or their politics without a constant awareness that our process was collective. We found that collectivity and deadlines make strange bedpersons. Like any revolution, any revelation, collectivity was the best of times, it was the worst of times.</p> <p>As a self-selected group of women we all shared a commitment to our topic and a commitment to the Heresies Collective, the 21 women who are the magazine's originators and publishers. Nearly half the editorial group which produced this issue are Heresies Collective members too. The others of us responded to the Heresies invitation which offers feminists the space and the means to explore and analyze women's issues in depth. Our editorial responsibility ranged from discussing issues, soliciting articles, reading and responding to submissions and working editorially with writers, to the technical production of the magazine. This lengthy process required willingness to put aside learned notions of efficiency. Criticism and self-criticism were the feedback structures that allowed us continually to re-examine our process and our ideas. We had to respond to different levels of experience and tried to avoid their expression in conscious or unconscious hierarchies. Our concern about structure had its emotional edge. We began as eleven. We are now nine. Our fledgling process was as full of pain and anxiety as it was of intelligence and optimism. We needed to weigh the comparative values of professional writing versus amateur investigation and set our own standards which emphasized the communication of issues rather than just cherished notions of good writing. Each editor had a sense of an insider/outsider tension. On the one hand, there was an unspoken set of assumptions shared by some members of the group, vocabulary and gestures which grew out of a common history, a common consciousness. On the other, there was a fear that this set of assumptions implied a clique.</p> <p>What kind of process did we create? We felt we were constantly tripping over ourselves. We were frustrated and embarrassed at all the doubling back and overlap in our discussions, especially when we were met with questions like, "If she's a pain in the ass, why don't you kick her out?" "Why do you waste so much time with democracy?" "Hierarchies are inevitable. Why don't you face it?" "Isn't a collective a camel designed by a committee?" What we created was awkward, was exhilarating. As involved as we all were with making the magazine beautiful, exciting, intellectually stimulating, this became secondary to the problem of how we could possibly accommodate ourselves to each other's needs as creative women.</p> <p>How could we collectively make a magazine that represented us all? How comfortable were we with each other's voices, with each other's images, with each other's ideas? We did not want this issue to be an organ for self-promotion. But fired by our discussions and prompted by questions raised in submitted articles, many members of the editorial group submitted articles for publication. Analogies were made to archeological digs and contemporary anthropology, and the more excited we were by the information of our contributors, the more immediately we wanted to participate ourselves.</p> <p>The Women's Movement is in a new phase. Consciousness-raising continues to be basic to any feminist enterprise. We are shifting the arena of our political activity from the private to the public. In projects like Heresies this shift takes the concrete form of a magazine, the creation of a forum, the extension of ideas and images into places where they can be discussed and critiqued. This development requires a scrutiny which at times seems inimical to the support and solidarity that are the goals of consciousness-raising. But to resort pessimistically to the conclusion that deadlines demand bureaucracies is to overlook that we are still developing the sort of consciousness and fantasy that can project alternatives. A dialectic of content and process evolved in the production of this issue. Every positive aspect had its negative underbelly, and vice versa. Our understanding of women's traditional arts expanded in response to the material submitted to us, and there were recurring motifs: time, efficiency and domesticity. Recognizing that time was a common denominator all women shared—time for one woman might mean cooking, for another weaving, for us, producing this issue—we began to realize the positive aspect of our flexibility in handling time (we were certainly not behaving "efficiently"), but we were simultaneously aware that the model for this attitude to time came from the family where the woman's work is never done and always done and where the endlessness of tasks is depleting and domesticating. From her house flows much of the art that this issue considers.</p> <p>In order to understand women's traditional arts and our responses to it we had to deconstruct and reconstruct to be able to see clearly the interrelationships between art objects and the conditions in which they are produced. This cycle of dismantling and re-creating characterized our own creative process too. The boundaries women have worked within and challenged were familiar to us. Traditionally, women's working spaces have been defined by their tent, hut or home, their psychological spaces by the rhythm of domestic demands. We often become attached to our working and psychological spaces to the extent that our process disintegrated when we moved from place to place and phase to phase. Confronted with women's traditional arts, our loyalties were torn; we wanted at the same time to celebrate and lament. Trying to reconstruct a part of the history of women's artmaking obliged us to tolerate these contradictions, to negate, affirm and transcend simultaneously what has characterized women's work. In this way, re-evaluation of the past and how it impinges on the present does not necessitate a fresh start, but a self-reflective critical appropriation of a past which, though created by the "anonymous toil" of unknown women, belongs to all of us.</p><p>Language conveys attitudes and feelings and at the same time reflects and constructs consciousness. We were sensitive to the need for scrutinizing our words when we spoke together, for questioning clichés. Elements of a new vocabulary emerged in our discussions, a vocabulary which helped us view women's traditional arts in the ways we have.</p> <p>"Filters" are the biases we bring to our projects. By acknowledging them, we wanted to challenge the myth of objectivity, to let our various feminist partisanships show. "Femmage" is the practice of collecting, recycling, reshaping and juxtaposing the artifacts of everyday life, a mode echoed in our production of this magazine. "Anonymous toil" is the labor that invisibly supports the honored products of culture. "Matronizing" attitudes are characterized by a smug feminism that knows the answers and ceases to be self-critical. Because we were dealing anthropologically with other cultures and editorially with other writers, we found ourselves fighting against falling into this stance. The entire process—from initial meetings to eventual publication—took nine months. Obviously a full-term pregnancy. The toughest part was to achieve the fine balance between the sentimental and the intellectual.</p> <p>Initially, our aim was to investigate women's traditional arts. This led us to another question: what will women of the future make and what will their contexts be? We are at a peculiar and exciting edge: one foot in the socially stratified past, the other in our utopian fantasy of the future.</p> </div> </body> </text> </TEI>
