description: A leader of Latin Americas powerful new womens movement rethinks the meaning of feminist politicsRecent years have seen massive feminist mobilisations in virtually every continent overturning social mores and repressive legislation. As women filled the streets of Argentina and Madrid of Italy and Poland theyve transformed the meaning of radical politics and the grammar of various struggles.In this brilliant and kaleidoscopic look at the emerging feminist international Vernica Gago uses the womens strike as both a concept and a collective experience. At once a gripping political analysis and a theoretically charged manifesto Feminist International draws on the authors rich experience with radical movements to enter into ongoing debates in feminist and Marxist theory: from social reproduction and domestic work to the intertwining of financial and gender violence as well as controversies surrounding the neo-extractivist model of development the possibilities and limits of left populism and the ever-vexed nexus of gender-race-class.Gagos feminism is a powerful call to abandon the rhetoric of victimisation and to instead mount a frontal challenge to both neo-liberal rule and the conservative counteroffensive. Feminist International asks what another theory of power might look like one premised on our desire to change everything.
