Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future by Jennifer Baumgardner

3.0

Written almost 15 years ago about the burgeoning 3rd wave of feminism, Manifesta offered an interesting glimpse into the thoughts of two of the women at the front of the "wave" I belong to. Some of their ideas have proven timeless--intersectionality, critiquing media, embracing the stereotypically feminine--some seem a little extreme in today's light--women should never change their names, all women explore their sexuality with other women--and some of it seemed as current as ever--women need to translate their frustration into activism. I found the last section on activism the most informative and interesting.
