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*
Fortunes of Feminism goes a long way in bringing together Fraser's
substantial body of work on redistribution and recognition .

at least they should.

Fraser asks: What became of feminism in the wake of the neoliberal
turn?.This book is required reading for feminists of all
persuasions, and for a broader audience of left readers who want to
get an overview of feminist political and philosophical
debates.[Fraser] helps us think about the crucial question of where
the women's movements in all of their varieties are going. Equally
crucially, she helps us to ask what the relationship of such
movements is, should be, or could be, to the left broadly defined,
in an era in which war and austerity threaten all of the modest
social justice gains of the Golden Age.
