ON Saturday May 8, women of the Communist Party of Britain present Sisterhood, Socialism and Struggle — Communist Women Rising, their free online conference, open to women and men. The ambition for this conference is truly huge. The enormity of the predicament women face in the brutal neoliberal world system demands it. For working-class women living in the capitalist countries of the world, especially those under neocolonialist domination, authoritarian patriarchal rule or in imperialist war-ravaged countries where their lives are constantly threatened, the situation is beyond desperate. Capitalism faces enormous problems it cannot resolve peacefully — on the economy, on the environment, or providing any of the essentials that people need.
