Description
Spanning from the 15th century to the present, this global anthology gathers landmark feminist writing across continents, languages, and genres—building a “city of ladies” where voices that shaped political thought, culture, and everyday life can be read in conversation. Edited and introduced by Hannah Dawson, it offers a sweeping, high-level journey through the ideas and arguments that have challenged power, expanded rights, and reimagined what freedom and equality can mean. With a major new essay that frames feminist writing as both historical force and lived experience, the collection traces how gendered realities are contested—on the page and beyond it. Expect a rich tapestry of themes including autonomy, justice, representation, and resistance, presented in Dawson’s academically grounded, accessible style that connects scholarship to urgency.
