Addressing todays conversation about race, empowerment, and inclusion in America, Koa Beck, writer and former editor-in-chief ofJezebel, boldly examines the history of feminism, from the true mission of the suffragists to the rise of corporate feminism with clear-eyed scrutiny and meticulous detail. She also examines overlooked communities – including Native American, Muslim, transgender, and more – and their ongoing struggles for social change.

With intellectually smart and emotionally intelligent (Patrisse Cullors,New York Timesbest-selling author and Black Lives Matter cofounder) writing, Beck meticulously documents how elitism and racial prejudice have driven the narrative of feminist discourse. Blending pop culture, primary historical research, and first-hand storytelling, she shows us how we have shut women out of the movement, and what we can do to correct our course for a new generation.
