How I Grew Up Red, Fought for Free Speech, And Became a Feminist Rebel
by Bettina Aptheker
Review this book!
In this political memoir, professor Bettina Aptheker recounts her vivid life as a child of famous American Communists and her own experiences as a sixties activist, as she shares her difficult struggle to come to terms with her memories of sex abuse by her famous father, historian Herbert Aptheker. Bettina Aptheker was an important figure in the movement, and here she tells of her journey through radical politics, political activism, sexual liberation, feminism and lesbian identity in this rich, intelligent rendering of a period and a person.
