This new book by Nancy Fraser traces the evolution of the feminist movement from the 1970s to the present day and anticipates a new, radical and egalitarian phase of feminist thought and action, which will be inserted strongly into the current cycle of struggles against neoliberal policies and practices.

During the ferment of the new left throughout the 1960s and 1970s, "second wave" feminism emerged in the heat of the fight for women's liberation and featured prominently alongside other radical movements that questioned the fundamental features of capitalist society. But the subsequent immersion of feminism in the labyrinths of identity politics since the mid-1980s coincided with a decrease in its utopian energies, with the rise of neoliberalism as a set of policies of domination and with the deradicalization and right-wingness of the whole. of the political spectrum. At the present time, foreseeing a recovery of the political energies of the movement, Fraser defends the revitalization of a feminist radicalism capable of addressing the current systemic crisis of capitalism and its modes of production of value and social reproduction. At this juncture, Fraser bets for feminism to become a force that works and fights, in concert with other egalitarian movements, to place the economy under democratic control, while expanding the visionary potential of the previous waves of liberation from women. This compelling new analysis is destined to become a landmark of feminist thought and to inspire the struggles and initiatives of women and new social movements in the current political, financial, economic and ecological crisis.
