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, tells us 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 us 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 playwrigth Jenny McLeod offers a personal view of the journey of the black woman in her family; Helen Simpson s short story is a gently hilarious 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 take new and unexpected views on sexual politics today.
