Feminism for a World on Fire

This is the feminist book we need now. It takes feminism back to its radical roots and unites it with today's urgent concerns about economics and the climate crisis.Western liberal feminism, with its focus on individual success and hard graft, is now feeling hollow. The feminist gains of the last century seem rights are being lost, fundamentalists are regaining power, politicians are embracing online misogynists and tech bros, and young men are moving to the right. Simultaneously, we have a climate catastrophe and profound economic inequality.Natasha Walter, one of the UK's most prominent feminist voices, argues that our current feminist movement is too narrow, too divided, too timid to take on these challenges. Change is possible, but only when we move away from the individualist, consumerist take on liberation and towards connection and - most importantly - collective action. Galvanising and inspiring, Feminism for a World on Fire is a call to return to feminism's revolutionary roots.
