I just finished reading this book a couple of weeks ago. The authors are an Italian Cinzia Arruzza, an American Nancy Fraser and an Indian Tithi Bhattacharya.
It's a short read but succinctly lays out the kind of feminism that I identify with. The gist of the authors' argument is a feminism for the 99% must radically address the roots of inequality, and to do so, the whole system has to be challenged.
Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto
Re: Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto
I haven't read it but by looking at the synopsis, it looks like a well-written book. I'll check this in our local library. Thank you for sharing

Re: Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto
Will add to my list. I'm currently reading Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall and Leaning Out by Dawn Foster. As well as about 3 other books so may take me a few years before I finish any of them.

Re: Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto
I read a synopsis of Hood Feminism, and going by that it's on the same wavelength as Feminism for the 99%. Definitely on my reading list.Orla wrote: Sun Mar 26, 2023 3:38 pm Hood Feminism has been on my list for a while! I follow the author on social media and I’ve heard her speak at an event.
