“Comrades, woe to he who despises women! Woe to all men, here and elsewhere, to all men of all social ranks, wherever they may come from, who despise women, who do not understand, or who forget what the woman represents: ''You have touched the women, you have struck a rock. You have dislodged a boulder, you will be crushed.”

"The women and men of our society are all victims of imperialist oppression and domination. That is why they wage the same struggle. The revolution and women's liberation go together. We do not talk of women's emancipation as an act of charity or because of a surge of human compassion. It is a basic necessity for the triumph of the revolution. Women hold up the other half of the sky." <3

Such an amazing book if you are a Marxist looking into intersectional feminism. Thomas Sankara perfectly describes and explains the multiple layers of oppression that women of colour face in modern capitalist society. Oppression under race, men and class keeps them in the shackles of their society.

This is Sankara’s distillation of Engel’s Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State but in a Burkinabé context. It’s a pretty good breezy text on Marxist feminism from one of Africa’s greatest liberation leaders, who greatly improved the lives of millions formerly suffering under French colonial tyranny.
