DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Women's History Month with the PSL! Join us for a study group of 
 the latest issue of Breaking the Chains magazine, Outrage and Optimism: 
 Women Confront Imperialism, as well as a potluck social and drum-making 
 session. \n\nThe women’s movement has often been divided over the 
 question of imperialism. There are sectors of the women's movement that 
 call for U.S. intervention in other countries based on the premise of 
 liberating the women of those countries. Others support sanctions rather 
 than war and ignore the fact that sanctions are a weapon that hurts the 
 entire population of the targeted country. The idea that war or other forms 
 of intervention can liberate women is pure fantasy. \n\nIn this issue of 
 Breaking the Chains, we establish an argument grounded in Marxist theory 
 for why the women’s movement and feminists must stand in solidarity with 
 the people of the world who are confronting imperialism. Our approach is 
 based on our analysis of the balance of forces in the class struggle that 
 wages daily across the globe; it addresses many of the facets of 
 imperialist war and policies within this framework. In this issue, we 
 investigated the environmental impacts of war and domination through the 
 experiences of women in Vietnam and Puerto Rico. We cover the history of a 
 battle fought by the Vietnamese resistance against the French at Dien Bien 
 Phu that holds lessons for today’s struggle. We address the difference 
 between capitalism and socialism in terms of foreign policy.\n\nThis issue 
 also includes:\n\n- Marxist analysis on the politics of women, war, and 
 imperialism\n- Biography of Cuban revolutionary Vilma Espín\n- Interview 
 with independent journalist Abby Martin\n- Imperialist intervention and 
 resistance in Latin America\n- How neoliberalism impacts the education of 
 girls in Africa\n\nJoin us! Bring a dish to share if you can, but not 
 required. Wheelchair accessible. \n
