GLOBAL IN SCOPE, FEARLESS IN TONE AND DARING ABOUT WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN NEXT

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.

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.

How can women defend their rights and freedoms in this dangerous world?

In the urgent *Feminism for a World on Fire, 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.

With clarity and courage, in this passionate and compelling book, Natasha Walter finds a thread of real hope in the dark.
