We Don't Need Another Wave pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2026

Feminists are feminists--diverse in age and experience--so let's drop the labels in favor of proactive agendas and united goals. "In this exciting collection of essays, a whole new crop of talented and fiercly political writers make the case that while each new `wave' of feminists (suffragists, women's liberationists, riot grrls, etc.) may pass like so many political or cultural trends, as long as there's a need for revolution, *feminism* is here to stay."

--Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, co-authors of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism and the Future " We Don't Need Another Wave self-confidently flips the bird to those folks who might protest, as they so often do, that feminism isn't relevant in the lives of young women. The voices collected here are simultaneously outraged, snarky, hopeful, and lusty--and each one proving that political idealism lives on, as long as you know where to look."

--Andi Zeisler, co-founder, Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture "Melody Berger has assembled a raucous rebuke to anyone who thinks that feminism is a thing of the past. This collection demonstrates that it is very much a part of our future."

--Rebecca Traister, Salon.com "Only one f-word (besides fat) has the power to strike confusion in the hearts of women and panic in the minds of men: feminism. Just when we need it most, here's a collection of compelling viewpoints from fearless young feminists writing with equal parts passion, concern, opinion, analysis, and humor. Berger is right: We don't need another wave when this one is just beginning to roll."

--Wendy Shanker, author of The Fat Girl's Guide to Life "These stories are a testament to the fact that there are still many battles to fight; and that today's women are not comfortable with being almost equal. We Don't Need Another Wave gives women a shot of inspiration and the knowledge that sisterhood is still powerful. Indeed, we don't need another wave; we just need to win every war."

--Dyann C. Logwood, Founding Publisher of HUES Magazine , Activist, and Educator " We Don't Need Another Wave reanimates feminist pride, encourages unity, and fosters a momentous rallying cry. For those of us invested in words, but bursting toward action, Berger's collection of myriad and strident voices authenticates radical feminism as a movement-in-motion."

--Pamela Means, singer-songwriter Including dispatches from awesome authors like Lisa Jervis, Alix Olson, Staceyann Chin, Dean Spade, Lenelle Moise, Kelly Tsai and MORE MORE MORE... We Don't Need Another Wave is an incensed critique of the ways in which feminism is discussed in the mainstream media. Today's young feminists are wary of being labeled. They are media-savvy, hyper-aware of being categorized and marginalized, and are here to tell the world that feminists are feminists -- diverse in age and experience -- and that it's time to drop the labels in favor of proactive agendas and united goals. Topics that matter to young feminists range from lighter issues, such as DIY culture and craftivism, to heavy-hitting issues like abuse, rape, shame, sex workers' rights, trans activism, LGBT issues across the board, and loads more. The young writers in this collection fiercely embrace the F-word (feminism, that is) and show that the "next generation" is bravely breaking new ground while still valuing the traditions and achievements of those who have come before them. We Don't Need Another Wave brings a message of unity... one that calls for us to get beyond subcategorizing a movement that needs cohesiveness and strives on strength in numbers. And the essays are grippingly awesome, for real.
