"You cannot take what you have not given, and you must give yourself. You cannot buy the Revolution. You cannot make the Revolution. You can only be the Revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.”

― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

We know that there is no help for us but from one another, that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that you reach out is empty, as mine is. You have nothing. You possess nothing. You own nothing. You are free. All you have is what you are, and what you give.

— Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia (Harper & Row, 1974)

At the center of anarchist-feminist ideology—and a reason for its hostile reception—was its insistence that the roots of sexual inequality were embedded in the nuclear family. Only by abolishing it, they argued, could the society demonstrate its commitment to eradicating female subordination. This analysis takes on particular significance for late-twentieth-century feminists, who have witnessed the triumph of the suffrage amendment, the extraordinary growth of women in the work force (albeit with serious inequality in wages), and the inclusion of women in federal and some state antidiscrimination laws, but yet have not seen an end to sexual inequality. The mainstream feminists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries reasoned that without political clout equality was impossible; the mainstream feminists of the mid-twentieth century contended that without equal economic opportunity women would remain subordinate. Political power, legal rights, and access to economic opportunity, it might be argued, are essential preconditions to equality, but they do not constitute the thing itself. As long as women, because they are women, are principally responsible for the nurturing functions within the family and are the primary caretakers of children, their choices as human beings will remain more circumscribed than those of men. The anarchist-feminists made their most radical contribution by declaring that if gender distinctions ought not to inhibit women from participating in the economic and political life of the society, neither were they valid in determining roles within our most intimate institutions. They maintained that if we are ever to build an egalitarian society, differences in roles—whether in sexual relationships, childrearing, political life, or work—must be based on capacity and preference, not on gender.

-Margaret S. Marsh, Anarchist Women, 1870-1920
