Anarchafeminism

Description

“Feminism does not mean female corporate power or a woman president: it means no corporate power and no president.” – Peggy Kornegger In this first introductory text to anarchafeminism, Chiara Bottici argues that feminism needs anarchism and anarchism needs feminism. Radical political movements don’t exist in isolation from each other. The fight for freedom and equality needs to operate on more than one connected plane. Anarchafeminism attempts to incorporate the strategems from both feminist and anarchist theories, approaches and grassroots activism to formulate a specific anarchafeminist approach adapted to the challenges of our times. Bottici draws upon work and theories from across the world to make this a truly global and very contemporary exploration of what anarchafeminism means today. The book introduces the key thinkers and ideas, setting out a manifesto which proposes a practical way ahead for a new more anarchafeminist society.
