"A bang up to date ready-reckoner on all things feminist. A terrific introduction or refresher, with lots of interesting easter eggs to hunt for."Deborah Frances-White (The Guilty Feminist podcast)Master the ideas that have shaped feminism throughout history. From the right to vote to reproductive rights, from the sexual revolution to the manosphere, Maya Oppenheim's 50 accessible essays explore the history, ideas and battlegrounds that have defined - and divided - feminist movements throughout history and are at the forefront of discussions today. Spanning the worlds of pop culture, art, politics, the criminal justice system, economics, conspiracy, sexuality, women's health and activism, Oppenheim's comprehensive introduction to the most important feminist ideas charts the trajectory of an eclectic movement, which has long strived to make the world a fairer and less brutal place. Using her experience as the first and only Women's Correspondent at a UK news outlet, Oppenheim delves into a range of contemporary issues, which feminist movements wrestle with today as the far right swells in power and the backlash to women's rights intensifies.
