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.… (more)

Run, don't walk, to your nearest book seller or library and get a copy of this slim, salient study of the specific evils of capitalism and the actionable ways that anticapitalist feminism proposes to redress them.

Arrruzza, et al, quickly sketch the bankruptcy of liberal feminism that "confuses feminism with the assent of individual women," and "steadfastly refuses to address the socioeconomic constraints that make freedom and empowerment impossible for the majority of women."

The writers also address issues of reproduction of labor, gender violence, and the environment.

This is one to own, underline, re-read and discuss with your book group. ( )

María Reimóndez explícanos no prólogo que non hai un único carné de feminista pero que nalgures ten que estar o límite. E este límite sitúano as tres autoras no seu manifesto dun feminismo universalista, aberto á transformación e á contestación, "e sempre á anovarse grazas á solidariedade", un feminismo anticapitalista, antiracista e antiimperialista e ecosocialista. Unha obra moi interesante e acertada para seguir aprendendo. O manifesto remata con estas verbas: "O feminismo para o 99% é un feminismo anticapitalista que non descansa, un feminismo ao que non lle valen as equivalencias sen igualdade, os dereitos legais sen xustiza, nin a democracia sen unha liberdade individual que realmente supoña a liberdade de todas as persoas".

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

First words
In the spring of 2018, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg told the world that we "would be a lot better off if half of all countries and companies were run by women and half of all homes were run by men,' and that "we shouldn't be satisfied until we reach that goal."
