Based on the smash-hit audio serial, Bubble is a hilarious high-energy graphic novel with a satirical take on the “gig economy.” Built and maintained by corporate benevolence, the city of Fairhaven is a literal bubble of safety and order (and amazing coffee) in the midst of the Brush, a harsh alien wilderness ruled by monstrous Imps and rogue bands of humans. Humans like Morgan, who’s Brush-born and Bubble-raised and fully capable of fending off an Imp attack during her morning jog. She’s got a great routine going—she has a chill day job, she recreationally kills the occasional Imp, then she takes that Imp home for her roommate and BFF, Annie, to transform into drugs as a side hustle. But cracks appear in her tidy life when one of those Imps nearly murders a delivery guy in her apartment, accidentally transforming him into a Brush-powered mutant in the process. And when Morgan’s company launches Huntr, a gig economy app for Imp extermination, she finds herself press-ganged into kicking her stabby side job up to the next level as she battles a parade of monsters and monstrously Brush-turned citizens, from a living hipster beard to a book club hive mind.

Analisis del recorrido del movimiento de liberacion de mujeres desde 1640 hasta nuestros dias. Desde una perspectiva marxista y feminista se abordan las luchas de las mujeres en sus momentos culminantes, empezando con el papel de la mujer en la revolucion inglesa de mediados del siglo xvii, cuando por primera vez florecieron ideas de liberacion de las mujeres y una nueva moralidad sexual, en la revolucion francesa del siglo xviii, en la comuna de paris del siglo xix, en la revolucion rusa de 1917. Se dedican cinco capitulos a los exitos y fracasos en la organizacion de las mujeres trabajadoras en el movimiento socialista, entre 1860 y 1920 en estados unidos, alemania, rusia, francia y el reino unido. Entre 1990 y 1960 la cuestion de la liberacion quedo oculta bajo el peso de la crisis economica. A finales de los 60 y principios de los 70 surgio un nuevo movimiento. Finalmente se contemplan los movimientos contemporaneos de liberacion de mujeres en estados unidos y el reino unido, considerando su composicion social y su modo de accion.

Tony Cliff was a Palestinian Jew who became a revolutionary socialist in his teens. He came to Britain in the 1940s and built the anti-Stalinist left, pulling together the group that was to become the Socialist Workers Party. He died in 2000 aged 82 and thousands attended his funeral procession through Golders Green. This lovingly crafted book is the culmination of years of work, drawing on interviews with over 100 people who knew Cliff and painstaking research in archives around the country. It is a majestic example of political biography at its best.
