A personal and political manifesto vying for an antiracist socialist feminist movement of movements The world is burning, flooding, and politically exploding, to the point where its become clear that neoliberal feminismthe kind that aims to elect The First Woman Presidentwill never be enough. In this book, Zillah Eisenstein asks us to consider what it would mean to thread socialism to feminism; then, what it would mean to thread abolitionism to socialist feminism. She asks all of us, especially white women, to consider what it would mean to risk everything to abolish white supremacy, to uproot the structural knot of sex, race, gender, and class growing from that imperial whiteness. If we are to create a revolution that is totally liberatory, we need to pool together in a new working class, building a radical movement made of movements. Eisensteins manifesto is built on almost half a century of her antiracist socialist feminist work. But now, she writes with a new urgency and imaginativeness. Eisenstein asks us not to be limited by reforms, but to radicalize each other on differing fronts. Our task is to build bridges, to connect disparate and passionate people across aisles, state lines, picket lines, and more. The genius force demanding that we abolish white supremacy can also create a new we for all of usa humanity universally accepting of our complexities and differences. We are in uncharted waters, but that is exactly where we need to be.
