Throughout written history and across the world, women
have protested the restrictions of gender and the violence
and limitations placed on women’s bodies and women’s
lives. People – of any and no gender – have protested
and theorised, penned manifestos and written poetry and
songs, testified and lobbied, gone on strike and fomented
revolution, quietly demanded that there is an “I” and
loudly proclaimed that there is a “we.” The Verso Book of
Feminism chronicles this history of defiance and tracks
it around the world as it develops into a multi vocal and
unabashed force.
Global in scope, The Verso Book of Feminism shows
the breadth of feminist protest and of feminist thinking,
moving through the female poets of China’s Tang Dynasty
to accounts of indigenous women in the Caribbean
resisting Columbus’s expedition, British suffragists
militating for the vote to the revolutionary pétroleuses
of the 1848 Paris Commune, the first-century Trung sisters who fought for the independence of Nam Viet to
women in 1980s Botswana fighting for equal protection
under the law, from the erotica of the sixth century and
the ninteenth century to radical queer politics in the
twentieth and twenty-first.
The Verso Book of Feminism is a weapon, a force,
a lyrical cry, and an ongoing threat to misogyny
everywhere
