Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto

by Cinzia Arruzza

Paperback, 2019

Description

Unaffordable housing, poverty wages, inadequate healthcare, border policing, climate change--these are not what you ordinarily hear feminists talking about. But aren't they the biggest issues for the vast majority of women around the globe?Taking as its inspiration the new wave of feminist militancy that has erupted globally, this manifesto makes a simple but powerful case: feminism shouldn't start--or stop--with the drive to have women represented at the top of their professions. It must focus on those at the bottom, and fight for the world they deserve. And that means targeting capitalism. Feminism must be anticapitalist, eco-socialist and antiracist.

Great polemic against liberal, neoliberal feminism which sustains existing inequalities and a call for an anti-capitalist, more inclusionary form of feminism.
