Sinopse

A fearless primer on the feminism we need now: tactics for advancing reproductive justice, promoting intersectionality, and pushing back against patriarchal systems of oppression.

Too loud. Too shrill. Too far. Too much. Despite the systematic chipping away at our voices, autonomy, and rights, women who demand more - or even just enough - continue to be pushed aside, talked over, and dismissed. From unbridled online abuse to the unspoken societal rules that dictate who can express anger, when you're a feminist the personal is political...and it's time we all embrace feminism as a matter of survival. 

Cultural critic and Gen-Z feminist Kylie Cheung lays bare the state of affairs for women in the 21st century. She discusses the challenges of our time, from misogyny to gaslighting, racism, and rampant attacks on reproductive health care. She also explores the empowering strides of #MeToo, unprecedented youth mobilization, and increasing recognition of the power and necessity of intersectional movements. Cheung weaves biting cultural commentary with personal narrative, sharing stories of feminist awakening, online harassment, and the effects of sexual assault, racism, fetishization, and misogyny within relationships. She speaks candidly to a new generation of feminists seeking real, unfiltered experiences and guidance as they navigate the sexist realities of our unjust world. Cheung's manifesto is a tour de force of fourth-wave feminism, a call to arms that speaks truth to power as we engage in the fight of and for our lives.

Resumo da Crítica

"Journalist Cheung debuts with a sharp and reflective examination of the state of fourth-wave feminism.... [She] skillfully communicates the urgency of these issues, and demands respect for her Gen-Z cohorts from an older generation of feminists. This galvanizing call to arms will resonate with young activists." (Publishers Weekly)

"Astute and unapologetic, A Woman's Place is an ultimately hopeful dispatch from the resistance in the Trump era. Cheung shows us how young feminists have - and will continue to - carry on the fight for justice." (Maya Dusenbery, former editor of Feministing.com and author of Doing Harm)

"The Gen-Z daughter of Asian-American immigrant parents in California suburbia, Cheung offers sharp analysis of how our overlapping identities inform the experience of this political moment and all it entails: the fight to save Roe v. Wade, post-#MeToo backlash, and the interconnected struggles of marginalized populations. Through it all, she shows that traversing a path forward still matters, despite the jarring back-and-forths between small victories and defeats. In A Woman's Place, Cheung reveals herself as one of today's most exciting new voices for a generation of emerging feminist thinkers." (Kelli María Korducki, books editor at Forge by Medium and author of Hard to Do)
