"Feminist Manifestos provides an impressive and unprecedented
archive of feminist activism. This rich compendium includes
feminist petitions, manifestos, resolutions, charters and
declarations from fifty countries, starting in 1642 and ending in
2017. Each selection is accompanied by informative introductions.
Ive been waiting for a book like this and cant wait to assign it in
my courses"
*Amrita Basu,Author of Violent Conjunctures in Democratic
India*
"This inspiring collection is breathtaking in its originality and
daring in its premise. Reading the words collectively authored when
feminists come together in struggle conveys the passion that
inspires activism. Feminists thinking together in these manifestos
provide hopeful and energizing answers to the question of what
feminism is, challenging the categories and waves into which such
variety is often awkwardly packaged."
*Myra Marx Ferree,Author of Varieties of Feminism: German Gender
Politics In Global Perspective*
"This extensive, rich, and diverse anthology of collective feminist
declarations is a vital source for understanding the long, global
history of feminism."
*Estelle B. Freedman,Author of No Turning Back and The Essential
Feminist Reader*
