Trigger warning: This episode includes a few passing references to sexual or domestic violence: nothing too graphic, but we wanted to give all of you a heads up. The references appear at 11:40, 35:50, 41:25, 1:04:50, and 1:33:44. Incidentally, we’re sympathetic to the zine “Betrayal”’s critical discussion of trigger warnings (page 2, “Disclaimer”); still, we’d prefer to err on the side of being careful.

Citations from our discussion of early anarcha-feminist ideology:

Voltairine de Cleyre: we cited her essays “The Economic Relations of Sex”, Sex Slavery, “The Woman Question”, and “Those Who Marry Do Ill”. You can learn more about her from the website voltairine.org; books of her writings and about her life include The Voltairine de Cleyre Reader on AK Press, Gates of Freedom: Voltairine de Cleyre and the Revolution of the Mind, by Eugenia DeLamotte; and Exquisite Rebel: The Essays of Voltairine De Cleyre – Anarchist, Feminist, Genius.

Emma Goldman: we drew on her essays “Marriage and Love”, “The Traffic in Women”, “The Hypocrisy of Puritanism”, “Woman Suffrage”, and “The Tragedy of Women’s Emancipation”. You might also be interested to listen to a podcast talk given by Clare Hemmings called “Sexual Politics and Revolution: Emma Goldman’s Passion”.

About La Voz De La Mujer, see No Gods, No Bosses, No Husbands: Anarchist Feminism in Nineteenth-Century Argentina by Maxine Molyneux.

About Chinese anarcha-feminist He Zhen, see Peter Zarrow’s article on He Zhen and Anarcha-Feminism in China and his book Anarchism and Chinese Political Culture.

We also drew on In Their Time: A History of Feminism in Western Society, by Marlene LeGates; No Turning Back: The History of Feminism and the Future of Women, by Estelle Freedman; Anarchy!: An Anthology of Emma Goldman’s Mother Earth; Louise Michel’s autobiography The Red Virgin; Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft; Anarchist Women: 1870–1920 by Margaret Marsh; Carolyn Ashbaugh’s biography Lucy Parsons: American Revolutionary; Joseph Dejacque’s “On the Human Being, Male and Female”; and Black Flag Boricuas by Kirwin Shaffer.

Here’s the documentary “Showdown at Highway 134” about the Elsipogtog resistance to fracking, from our friends at the Stimulator.

To learn more about Leonard Peltier, visit his support website, or check out the documentary Incident at Oglala. We played a brief excerpt from his phone call with Amy Goodman.

Public statement from Brian “Jacob” Church of the NATO 3, from which we read an excerpt.

Statement from the Bogota, Columbia-based anarcho-syndicalist Libertarian Student Union on the death of their comrade Sergio.

After the Hot Wire, we discussed questions of anonymity, legibility and solidarity; we referenced the interview with Amelie and Fallon from our friends at The Final Straw radio show. Amelie and Fallon, along with another comrade named Carlos - collectively known as the 5e3) have been imprisoned in Mexico since January of 2013, facing charges of incindiary attacks on a Nissan dealership and the ministry of communication and transportation building in Mexico City. Information about their case can be found in English here.

We also referenced the exchanges between the Conspiracy Cells of Fire and anonymous comrades around the claiming of actions – the debates are lengthy, but well worth reading. “Letter to the Anarchist Galaxy” [2011], “Do not say that we are few… just say that we are determined” [2012], "Anonymity” and “Let’s become dangerous… for the diffusion of the Black International” [2013], and “Appendix to an Aborted Debate on Anonymity and Attack” [2014].

We also referred to the pamphlet Revolutionary Solidarity with an essay by Daniele Carmignani.
