An invaluable reminder of feminisms radical and revolutionary visions. Its also, to those least inclined to read it but most in need of doing so, a powerful threat.
Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her
The most comprehensive collection of feminist manifestos, chronicling our rage and dreams from the nineteenth century to today In this landmark collection spanning three centuries and four waves of feminist activism and writing, Burn It Down! is a testament to what is possible when women are driven to the edge. The manifesto raging and wanting, quarreling and provokinghas always played a central role in feminism, and its the angry, brash feminism we need now.
Collecting over seventy-five manifestos from around the world, Burn It Down! is a rallying cry and a call to action. Among this confrontational sisterhood, youll find: Dyke Manifesto by the Lesbian Avengers; Simone de Beauvoirs pro- abortion Manifesto of the 343; Double Jeopardy: To Be Black and Female by Frances M. Beal; Zapatista Womens Revolutionary Laws; Riot Grrrl Manifesto by Bikini Kill; and Anarchy and the Sex Question by Emma Goldman.
Breanne Fahs argues that we need manifestos in all their urgent rawnesstheir insistence that we have to act now, that we must face this, that the bleeding edge of rage and defiance ignites new and revolutionary possibilities where new ideas are born.
