Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, & the Future

The 20th-anniversary edition of Manifesta, a groundbreaking feminist text, critically examines the current state of feminism and passionately advocates for its cause. Despite the widespread embrace of feminism, it faces confusion and questions about personal empowerment versus politics, inclusivity, and the future of feminism. First published in 2000, Manifesta chronicles the feminism of its generation, exposing challenges like antipathy to the term and criticism of its spokespeople. Despite these issues, the book inspired a new generation and became a classic.

This updated edition includes an updated bibliography, timeline, and resources, along with a new introduction by the authors. Expertly combining early women’s history and third-wave feminism, Manifesta remains a crucial tool for understanding the past, present, and future of feminism.
