Description
Unaffordable housing, poverty wages, universal healthcare, police violence; not the issues you ordinarily hear feminists talking about. But why should feminism only deal with issues that impact middle-class women? For most of us – for 99% of us – Feminism for the 99% argues that 'leaning in' at our corporate board room meeting is not an option.
This is a manifesto for the 99%. Those for whom increasing the minimum wage and implementing universal health and childcare would have a far greater impact on their lives than having more women CEOs. It is a manifesto that demands an end to mass incarceration and inhumane border regimes, the provision of safe and truly affordable housing, freedom for Palestine, an end to imperialist wars in the Middle East, and much more.
From three of the organisers of the International Women's Strike, this manifesto argues that these are all feminist issues. Feminism shouldn't start – or stop – with seeing women represented at the top of society. It should start with the 99%.

This impactful manifesto argues for an intersectional, socialist feminism that merges efforts against capitalism with those opposing racism, environmental degradation, and other social injustices. The authors, including acclaimed thinker Nancy Fraser, envision a collaborative movement that stands for the 99%, challenging neoliberal agendas and urging solidarity across various struggles. Critics have praised it for its bold, transformative vision and ability to make feminism widely applicable in addressing global crises.
