The focus is on women of diverse races, classes, ages, and geographic regions in the United States. Aptheker draws upon the works of women writers, poets, artists, dramatists, dancers, musicians, and academics as well as the words of women factory workers, domestics, and agricultural laborers.

Born into one of the most influential U.S. Communist families whose friends included W. E. B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Bettina lived her parents' politics witnessing first-hand one of the most dramatic upheavals in American history. She also lived with a terrible secret: incest at the hands of her famous father and a frightening and lonely life lived inside a home wrought with family tensions.A gripping and beautifully rendered memoir,  Intimate Politics  is at its core the story of one woman's struggle to still the demons of her personal world while becoming a controversial public figure herself. This is the story of childhood sexual abuse, abortion, sexual violence, activism, and the triumph over one's past. It's about FBI harassment and persecution, Jewish heritage, and lesbian identity. It is, finally, about the courage to speak one's truth despite the consequences and to break the sacred silence of family secrets.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50328844697873,"sku":"CIN158005160XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52146525569297,"sku":"NLS9781580051606","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53090103853329,"sku":"CIN158005160XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53349058871569,"sku":"NIN9781580051606","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/158005160X.jpg?v=1751309297"},{"product_id":"morning-breaks-book-bettina-aptheker-9780801485978","title":"The Morning Breaks","description":"On August 7, 1970, a revolt by Black prisoners in a Marin County courthouse stunned the nation. In its aftermath, Angela Davis, an African American activist-scholar who had campaigned vigorously for prisoners' rights, was placed on the FBI's \"ten most wanted list.\" Captured in New York City two months later, she was charged with murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy. Her trial, chronicled in this \"compelling tale\" (Publishers Weekly), brought strong public indictment. The Morning Breaks is a riveting firsthand account of Davis's ordeal and her ultimate triumph, written by an activist in the student, civil rights, and antiwar movements who was intimately involved in the struggle for her release.   First published in 1975, and praised by The Nation for its \"graphic narrative of [Davis's] legal and public fight,\" The Morning Breaks remains relevant today as the nation contends with the political fallout of the Sixties and the grim consequences of institutional racism. For this edition, Bettina Aptheker has provided an introduction that revisits crucial events of the late 1960s and early 1970s and puts Davis's case into the context of that time and our own—from the killings at Kent State and Jackson State to the politics of the prison system today. This book gives a first-hand account of the worldwide movement for Angela Davis's freedom and of her trial. It offers a unique historical perspective on the case and its continuing significance in the contemporary political landscape.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50431178309905,"sku":"CIN0801485975G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007192596753,"sku":"NIN9780801485978","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52083330449681,"sku":"GOR007353982","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53433808191761,"sku":"GOR014918118","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0801485975.jpg?v=1761390114"},{"product_id":"communists-in-closets-book-bettina-aptheker-9781032035840","title":"Communists in Closets","description":"Communists in Closets: Queering the History 1930s-1990s explores the history of gay, lesbian and non-heterosexual people in the Communist Party in the United States.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50698320052497,"sku":"NGR9781032035840","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51017269969169,"sku":"NIN9781032035840","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51606390767889,"sku":"CIN1032035846G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52136470380817,"sku":"NLS9781032035840","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032035846.jpg?v=1751237673"},{"product_id":"communists-in-closets-book-bettina-aptheker-9781032043098","title":"Communists in Closets","description":"Communists in Closets: Queering the History 1930s-1990s explores the history of gay, lesbian and non-heterosexual people in the Communist Party in the United States.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51295534612753,"sku":"NIN9781032043098","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135381500177,"sku":"NLS9781032043098","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032043091.jpg?v=1751399363"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-bettina-aptheker.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
