The past few years have witnessed a remarkable surge in feminist movements across the globe, challenging societal norms and overturning repressive legislation. In this insightful and pioneering exploration of the emerging feminist international, Verónica Gago delves into the transformative power of the women's strike, both as a concept and as a collective experience. This book serves as a captivating political analysis and a thought-provoking manifesto, drawing on the author's extensive involvement with radical movements to engage in ongoing debates within feminist and Marxist theory. From the complexities of social reproduction and domestic work to the interconnections between financial and gender violence, as well as the controversies surrounding the neo-extractivist model of development, the possibilities and limitations of left populism, and the enduring complexities of gender, race, and class, Gago offers a fresh perspective on power. She questions the status quo and proposes a new theory of power, one rooted in our collective desire to bring about transformative change. Feminist International is a must-read for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the evolving landscape of feminist movements and the potential for a more equitable and just world.
