PRAISE FOR MANIFESTA!
An important contribution to the subject . . .
Simpatico older women will be heartened by the
authors' knowledgeable discussion of pro-woman
attitudes and actions among the younger set, while
girls and young women may find political or personal
inspiration in their account.
Kirkus Reviews
A
breath of fresh airat last, Gen X takes
on feminism and creates a feminist manifesto for
a new generation . . . MANIFESTA is readable,
well-informed, and necessary to any young womanor
manwho craves gender equality.
Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty
Myth
Amy
Richards and Jennifer Baumgardner have sorted
out the fruits of this wave of feminismintended
and unintended, media mess and truthfor
a new generation. With wit and honesty, MANIFESTA
shows us the building blocks of the future of
this longest revolution.
Gloria Steinem
Great
news from the frontfeminism lives! Bold,
independent, generous, and cautionary, MANIFESTA
leaves no doubt that for a new generation of women
the F-word is not only speakable, but shoutable
and singable. To learn the tune and catch the
beat, read this book.
Alix Kates Shulman
The
best thing about MANIFESTA is that it isn't one.
It puts forth the dualities, contractions, and
schisms of conscious women with intelligence,
humor, and passion. Bless the young feminist/girlie/c*nts,
we need them to keep peeling back the layers of
our denial and our liberation.
Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina
Monologues
MANIFESTA
is another step toward the empowerment of women.
If caring about women matters, this book matters.
Andrea Dworkin
Richards
and Baumgardner have spent years as participants
in and observers of the feminist movement, and
now they have their say, asking new questions
and coming up with provocative answers. They do
it with wit, confidence, and superior insight.
MANIFESTA will reinvigorate armchair feminists
and recharge activists of all ages.
Barbara Findlen, editor of Listen
Up: Voices from the Next Feminist Generation
MANIFESTA
is an exciting and important contribution to the
growing body of Third Wave literature. Richards
and Baumgardner speak the language of a new generation
of feminists, proving once again that young women
are committed to continuing to work passionately
for social justice.
Rebecca Walker, editor of To Be Real:
Telling the Truth and Changing the Face of Feminism
