An essential, comprehensive account of what white feminism is, and
an empowering manifesto for revolution For readers of Reni
Eddo-Lodge's Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race,
Caroline Criado Perez's Invisible Women and Florence Given's Women
Don't Owe You Pretty 'Make room beside Audre Lorde and Angela Davis
on your shelves' Chicago Review of Books 'A book to make you stop
and think' Mishal Husain, national broadcaster 'Necessary,
warm-hearted and sharp-eyed... This book is going to light fires
everywhere, so if you are prone to combust, get right the hell out
of the way' Lit Hub, Most Anticipated Books of 2021 Feminism is
supposed to be the fight for the freedom and equality of women. And
in the past 200 years it has made incredible gains: paving the way
for women to advance economically, handing them back control of
their own bodies, and advocating for their needs and their
experiences. But not for all women. Since its very beginning,
mainstream feminism has catered to a particular group of women:
middle class, cis-gendered, Western, and above all, white. And the
exclusion of everyone outside this narrow category is not merely an
oversight, a coincidence, a slip. It is baked into the way feminism
works. This must change. White supremacy is killing feminism. Until
all of us are free and equal in society, none of us are. The power
to transform it lies with each one of us. It starts with
understanding how we got here in the first place. Eye-opening,
timely and impossible to ignore, Against White Feminism traces the
connections between feminism and white supremacy from the earliest
stirrings of the women's suffrage movement to the 'fourth wave' we
see today, demonstrating how an idea based on equality has been
corrupted by prejudice and exploitation from the start. Rafia
Zakaria issues a powerful call to arms to every reader to build a
new kind of feminism which will light the path to true emancipation
for all.
