Feminism for a World on Fire

Description

Across the world, women are facing backlash. Authoritarian states, online misogyny and climate breakdown are creating growing dangers for women, as their safety is being threatened and their freedoms are under attack.

How can women fight back?

Today, feminism is trapped in a cycle of consumerism and sold to women as individual empowerment. The result is that women are struggling to build connections with one another and with the world around them.
In this urgent book, Natasha Walter moves decisively beyond individualism to build a vision of a rooted feminism that can connect women”s liberation to other movements for equality and environmental protection. A world where women can thrive together on a flourishing planet may sometimes seem like a distant dream – but it is still within our grasp.

This is the book that feminists have been waiting for: global in scope, fearless in tone, and daring about what has to happen next.
