Nancy Fraser is among the very few thinkers in the tradition of
critical theory who are capable of redeeming its legacy in the
twenty-first century.
*Axel Honneth*
For more than a decade, Nancy Fraser's thought has helped to
reframe the agenda of critical theory.
*Etienne Balibar*
Nancy Fraser challenges us to reactivate the audacious spirit of
second-wave feminism. Analyzing an imaginary aimed at eradicating
exploitation as well as subjugation, she offers a rousing
conclusion as to how we might mobilize feminism's best energies
against the perils of the neoliberal present.
*Lynne Segal*
Nancy Fraser is one of the most creative social philosophers and
critical theorists of her generation.
*Cornel West*
Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya, and Nancy Fraser ... have
collaborated and written what is effectively a prospective
programme for the global women's movement, a feminist manifesto for
the 99%.
*Socialism Today*
[Feminism for the 99%'s] captivating vision of feminism is not a
standalone movement, isolated from battles against the exploitation
of people or the planet ... in contrast, [it] calls for radical
movements to join together in a 'common anti-capitalist
insurgency.' Where do I sign up?
*Red Pepper*
Fulfils the serious promise of its subtitle, 'a manifesto', as it
makes feminism generally applicable and available - and addresses
the crisis of capitalism as a feminist issue ... excellent
*Peace News*
a treatise for an intersectional, socialist feminism that centers
collective power over power for just a few
*Jezebel*
a visionary, relatable and all-encompassing resource valuable both
to the collective committed to achieving a feminist informed
anti-capitalist society and to those who are yet to be haunted by
the spectre
*Feminist Legal Studies*
[a] timely, fiery manifesto ... Arruzza, Bhattacharya, and Fraser
herald the arrival of a new internationalist, anticapitalist
feminist movement ... The feminism they describe is universalist
and collaborative, in solidarity with antiracist, queer,
environmental, migrant, and labor rights movements also endangered
by capitalism.
*Publishers Weekly*
'An anti-capitalist feminism has become thinkable today,' Cinzia
Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya and Nancy Fraser argue in Feminism for
the 99 Per Cent, 'in part because the credibility of political
elites is collapsing worldwide.' They are right.
*London Review of Books*
A crucial formulation of an inclusive, transformative, and global
social shift.
*Quietus*
In a searing anti-capitalist manifesto written by three
scholar-activists based in the US, Feminism for the 99% stands for
allwho are exploited, dominated and oppressed. ... Combining
theory, rhetoric and principle, it reads as a call to arms.
