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
