We Cannot Live Without Our Lives by Barbara Deming

A collection of poems, essays, letters and eulogies, in which the author 'reveals her deeply personal struggles as she confronts today's problems -- the Vietnam war, racial inequality, the never-ending battle of women against oppression, and her special experience as a lesbian.' Especially notable is her 'vivid account of three days in 'concentration camp' with the Mayday Tribe,' during a 1971 antiwar demonstration in Washington, D.C. Deming, a feminist, journalist, and activist for non-violent social change, died in 1984
