A Saving Remnant

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the lives of two pivotal figures of the twentieth-century American left, this dual portrait delves into the political and social activism of Barbara Deming and David McReynolds. Deming, a feminist and nonviolent activist, openly embraced her identity as a lesbian from a young age. McReynolds, notable for being the first openly gay presidential candidate for the Socialist Party, fiercely opposed the Vietnam War and was a pioneer in draft card protests. Their stories illuminate the intersection of personal identity and political activism.
