Book Description

Feminism is so last century. Surely in today’s world the idea is irrelevant and unfashionable?

Wrong. Since the turn of the millennium a revitalised feminist movement has emerged to challenge these assumptions. Based on a survey of over a thousand feminists, Reclaiming the F Word reveals the what, why and how of today’s feminism, from cosmetic surgery to celebrity culture, from sex to singleness and now, in this new edition, the gendered effects of possibly the worst economic crisis ever.

This is a generation-defining book demanding nothing less than freedom and equality, for all.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Anyone wanting to know what it means to be a feminist: read this book. You are sure to be inspired by how necessary feminism remains both for changing societies and liberating ourselves. –Amy Richards, author of Manifesta” and “Opting In””

Redfern and Aune have arrived with their arms full of ideas, encouragement and action for human beings who think that it would be a blooming good idea if everyone was treated equally regardless of their gender … Redfern and Aune’s contribution on women’s political involvement provides a robust and important contribution to this rejuvenated feminist debate … [a] must-have DIY guide to feminist action –Anthea McTeirnan, The Irish Times

If you thought feminism was dead or drawing its pension, think again. Savvy, witty and politically passionate, Reclaiming the F Word explains what today’s feminists want, and describes what they are doing to make it happen. Whether or not you actually call yourself a feminist, if you care about gender equality and justice you will want to read this book. –Deborah Cameron, author of The Myth of Mars and Venus
