Our gains of the last century feel fragile - rights are being lost and old political patriarchs join hands with online misogynists and tech bros. Fundamentalists regain or entrench power and young men are moving right. In short - we're in a horrible backlash. And we feminists argue amongst ourselves. At the same time we have a climate catastrophe and we have profound social inequality. Says Natasha, boldly: our movement is too narrow, too divided, too timid to take on the challenges. In a world that now stands on the brink of catastrophe, we can no longer rely on the same old stories. This is the time to build new relationships both with one another, and with the planet. Feminism for a World on Fire forges a realistic and relevant vision for our changed times LIVING DOLLS (2009, never out of print since) confirmed Natasha as one of the foremost thinkers of the fourth wave of feminism. Yet again she is in the vanguard, harnessing the anger and frustration many feel and calling for a new kind of activism. Feminism for a World on Fire is a call to return to feminists' revolutionary roots and, crucially, a demand to join the women's struggle to movements for social justice, and environmental protection. She looks well beyond western feminism and insists on a global view for the possibility of change, moving away from the consumerist, growth-oriented take on liberation and putting care and regeneration and solidarity at the centre to create connection and collective action. Galvanizing and inspiring, this is the book we need now.","image":"https:\/\/images.thalia.media\/00\/-\/bae05e7c71744ed8b86eb649d9eabe23\/feminism-for-a-world-on-fire-taschenbuch-natasha-walter-englisch.jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.vergleiche.ch\/product\/feminism-for-a-world-on-fire-9780349018812\/","min_price":33.4,"low_price_merchant_id":2294,"deeplink":"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/pclick.php?p=45130911667&a=401125&m=13971&pref1=9780349018812","ean":9780349018812,"brand":"Little, Brown Book Group"}
