<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Unaffordable housing, poverty wages, inadequate healthcare, border policing, climate change--these are not what you ordinarily hear feminists talking about. But aren't they the biggest issues for the vast majority of women around the globe? Taking as its inspiration the new wave of feminist militancy that has erupted globally, this manifesto makes a simple but powerful case: feminism shouldn't start--or stop--with the drive to have women represented at the top of their professions. It must focus on those at the bottom, and fight for the world they deserve. And that means targeting capitalism. Feminism must be anticapitalist, eco-socialist and antiracist.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Named one of <i>Vogue</i>'s "Most Anticipated Books of 2019"</b> <p/><i>This is a manifesto for the 99 percent</i> <p/>Unaffordable housing, poverty wages, inadequate healthcare, border policing, climate change--these are not what you ordinarily hear feminists talking about.

Arruzza, Bhattacharya, and Fraser herald the arrival of a new internationalist, anticapitalist feminist movement ... The feminism they describe is universalist and collaborative, in solidarity with antiracist, queer, environmental, migrant, and labor rights movements also endangered by capitalism."<br><b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/> "'An anti-capitalist feminism has become thinkable today, ' Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya and Nancy Fraser argue in <i>Feminism for the 99 Per Cent</i>, 'in part because the credibility of political elites is collapsing worldwide.'
