Through the Communist Party and the national Assembly of Women, nan Berger became an early critic of gender inequality, writing Woman Fancy or Free? with Joan Maizels. This intriguing exploration of historical documents from one womans life conveys the many unexpected byways of left political commitment in the twentieth century, bringing to the surface a wider social history.
