Synopsis

Feminism is on the move. In this book more than a dozen young writers outline their vision of the feminist future. Oona King, Britain's second black woman MP, explores why feminism matters in government; Helen Wilkinson writes on Thatcher's liberating relationship with power; Stephanie Theobald gives us a darkly humorous attack on lesbian chic; Julie Bindel uncovers the dangers women still face in their own homes; Katharine Viner reminds readers why the personal is still the political; novelist Livi Micheal's vivid portrayal of working-class women's lives is backed by Aminatta Forna's piece on why middle-class women are wrong to abandon feminism; novelist and playwright Jenny McLeod offers a personal view of the journey of the black woman in her family; Helen Simpson's short story is a look at motherhood; and five young girls tell us frankly and fearlessly what feminism means to them. From Bridget Jones to Donatella Versace, from "Blair's Babes" to Sara Thornton, these writers explore contemporary views on sexual politics.
