Liz Ross is a long-term socialist activist and author based in Melbourne, Australia.
She has campaigned for Women's Rights and Gay Liberation since 1972 and was a union delegate in the Department of Social Security for ten years during the Hawke era.
[3] She is also a member of the Trotskyist organisation Socialist Alternative,[citation needed] as well as its electoral alliance party Victorian Socialists[citation needed] and a founding and life member of the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives.
[4] In 2013, Ross wrote Revolution is for us: The Left and Gay Liberation in Australia, published by Interventions, which refutes claims that Marxism has no tradition of dealing with sexual oppression.
David Renton of Labour History called the book "a wonderfully partisan account that takes seriously the challenge of understanding the past through the eyes of the people who realised that strong trade unions of unskilled workers are a rare and precious thing, the men and (very often) women who fought against the bosses and the courts.
