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.

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

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.

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.

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.
