The passionately argued, incendiary French feminist work that first defined “eco-feminism”—now available for the first time in English Originally published in French in 1974, radical feminist Francoise d’Eaubonne surveyed women’s status around the globe and argued that the stakes of feminist struggle was not about equality but about life and death—for humans and the planet. In this wide-ranging manifesto, d’Eaubonne first proposed a politics of ecofeminism, the idea that the patriarchal system's claim over women's bodies and the natural world destroys both, and that feminism and environmentalism must bring about a new “mutation”—an overthrow of not just male power but the system of power itself. As d’Eaubonne prophesied, “the planet placed in the feminine will flourish for all.” Never before published in English, and translated here by French feminist scholar Ruth Hottell, this edition includes an introduction from scholars of ecology and feminism situating d’Eaubonne’s work within current feminist theory, environmental justice organizing, and anticolonial feminism.

Feminist icon and political activist Phyllis Chesler, author of the 2.5-million copy bestseller Women and Madness and the controversial The New Anti-Semitism, calls for an overhaul of the women's movement. In this important book, Phyllis Chesler asks the questions: Within feminism, is there room for free thinkers who oppose the party line? What if a feminist believes in capitalism? God? Patriotism? Chesler is the first to show the crisis in feminism today, which is silencing women and stripping them of power. In order to be a member of the club you must reject capitalism, see religion as a dangerous form of patriarchy, oppose the war, and turn a blind eye to the woman-defeating practices of Islam. The result contradicts the moral and ethical principles feminism was built on. Chesler signals a critical need for women to come together in a pro-individualist form of feminism.

What was it like to participate in the Women's Liberation Movement? What made millions of women step forward from the 1960s onwards and join it in different ways? Many of the 56 women in this book were there. They describe how they have contributed in multitudinous ways across politics, the arts, health, education, environmentalism, economics and science and created wonderfully rebellious activism. And how they continue this activism today with determined grittiness. Here are women - all over 70 years of age - still railing against the patriarchal systemic oppression of women, still fighting back --

What is ‘life’ and how do we define its boundaries? Is life immeasurable or are there levels of ‘liveliness’? How should we relate to entities that are not technically alive at all? As the world becomes increasingly technologized, questions about what counts as ‘life’ and ‘living’ have become a key field of inquiry in contemporary philosophical and arts discourse. As Mel Chen acknowledges in Animacies (2012), the "continued rethinking of life and death’s proper boundaries" has increasingly been recognized as a priority in twenty-first-century North American, European and Australasian critical theory. Indeed, the contributors of this volume go as far as to argue that the question of life has become the central problematic of recent feminist biopolitics, alongside discussions of scientific ethics and technological/organic power relationships. This volume explores points of intersection and divergence between critical conceptions of time and technology, drawing on a range of perspectives and approaches to examine our mediated and material embodied entanglements with key questions about life and death. It is a significant new contribution to the study of corporeality in gender studies and feminism, and will be of interest to academics, researchers and advanced students of philosophy, gender studies, literary theory, and politics. It was originally published as a special issue of Australian Feminist Studies.

While some have argued that we live in a ‘postfeminist’ era that renders feminism irrelevant to people’s contemporary lives this book takes ‘feminism’, the source of eternal debate, contestation and ambivalence, and situates the term within the popular, cultural practices of everyday life. It explores the intimate connections between the politics of feminism and the representational practices of contemporary popular culture, examining how feminism is ‘made sensible’ through visual imagery and popular culture representations. It investigates how popular culture is produced, represented and consumed to reproduce the conditions in which feminism is valued or dismissed, and asks whether antifeminism exists in commodity form and is commercially viable. Written in an accessible style and analysing a broad range of popular culture artefacts (including commercial advertising, printed and digital news-related journalism and commentary, music, film, television programming, websites and social media), this book will be of use to students, researchers and practitioners of International Relations, International Political Economy and gender, cultural and media studies.

From the wickedly funny and feminist creator and host of the Throwing Shade podcast, a collection of hilarious personal essays and political commentary perfect for fans of Lindy West and Roxane Gay. Since women earned the right to vote a little under one hundred years ago, our progress hasn't been the Olympic sprint toward gender equality first wave feminists hoped for, but more of a slow, elderly mall walk (with frequent stops to Cinnabon) over the four hundred million hurdles we still face. Some of these obstacles are obvious-unequal pay, under-representation in government, reproductive restrictions, lack of floor-length mirrors in hotel rooms. But a lot of them are harder to identify. They're the white noise of oppression that we've accepted as lady business as usual, and the patriarchy wants to keep it that way. Erin Gibson has a singular goal-to create a utopian future where women are recognized as humans. In Feminasty -- titled after her nickname on the hit podcast "Throwing Shade" -- she has written a collection of make-you-laugh-until-you-cry essays that expose the hidden rules that make life as a woman unnecessarily hard and deconstructs them in a way that's bold, provocative and hilarious. Whether it's shaming women for having their periods, allowing them into STEM fields but never treating them like they truly belong, or dictating strict rules for how they should dress in every situation, Erin breaks down the organized chaos of old fashioned sexism, intentional and otherwise, that systemically keeps women down.

Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: 1:0, University of Birmingham, course: International Relations with Political Science, language: English, abstract: Feminism observes and problematizes the fundamentally political relationship between gender and power (Stoker, 2002, p. 129), insisting upon ending sexist exploitation and oppression of women (Hooks, 2000, p. 1). However, post-feminists argue that feminism achieved its goals and is consequently ‘dying’ (Walby, 2011, p. 2). This essay will argue that the death of feminism is not imminent. Firstly, I will outline Naomi Wolf’s argument that feminism is irrelevant as power is “there for the taking” (Browne, 2001, p. 53) , if women stop viewing themselves as ‘victims’ (Wood, 2013, p. 86). I will agree with Germaine Greer that such arguments appeal to privileged women who do not understand discrimination (Wood, 2013, p. 87). Secondly, I will argue that post-feminist trends such as “Raunch Culture” attempted to reject feminism as “embarrassingly out of touch” (Stéphanie Genz, 2009, p. 12). Conversely, I will agree with Ariel Levy and Sylvia Walby that such consumerist trends are inequalities re-casted as ‘liberating’ (Powell, 2010, p. 76). Next, I will agree with Greer that feminism is not redundant, but needed now more than ever (UKFeminista, 2012). Women still face ridicule, objectification and violence (O'Hagan, 2012) despite apparent “emancipation.” Therefore, such trends are a danger to feminism as they encourage young women not to challenge the social order and dismiss feminist activism as superfluous (Claudia A. Mitchell, 2008, p. 313). Finally, I will argue that despite “feminist backlash” in the media (Worell, 2002, p. 467), feminist resistance is still alive through groups such as “UK Feminista” (Chafetz, 2006, p. 161). In summary, the essay will argue that ‘Power Feminism’, ‘Raunch Culture’ and ‘Girl Power’ have endangered feminism by declaring themselves as an ‘improved’ feminist thought (Stéphanie Genz, 2009, p. 12) whilst referring to feminism as ‘out of touch’ (Stéphanie Genz, 2009, p. 12). Backlash from the media has also threatened feminism by demonizing feminists as ‘man-hating dykes’ and ignoring its past and present achievements (Worell, 2002, p. 467). However, feminist resistance is still alive and an “unfinished revolution” (Davies, 2011).
