Burn It Down!

An invaluable reminder of feminism's radical and revolutionary visions. It's also, to those least inclined to read it but most in need of doing so, a powerful threat. -- Soraya Chemaly, author of <i>Rage Becomes Her</i> This exhilarating work of love and scholarship is a radiant gift to all who value liberation and justice. Reading it filled me with hope, inspiration and an electric connection to the angry, dissatisfied comrades who have come before me - as well my outraged contemporaries. A must-read, an antidote to powerlessness, a literary companion for the ages. -- Michelle Tea, author of <i>Against Memoir</i> In an age of platitudes and etsy-fied feminist empowerment products, Breanne Fahs gives us the uncompromising, the unruly, the ungovernable, the unpalatable. This book is a fiery reminder that the world does not change, we change the world. -- Jessa Crispin, author of <i>The Dead Ladies Project</i> This text is important historically and as a handbook for understanding and organizing today. Fahs has put together a collection that runs from the immediate and practical to the futuristic and abstract. In doing so, she reminds us that radical feminism is both utopian vision and practical argument. -- Ron Jacobs * Counterpunch * Learned and impassioned ... irreverent, scabrous and enraged, these manifestos also happen to be full of contradictions, written in the heat of the moment and without a cool eye to posterity. But it's this rough-hewn immediacy that makes some of them so bracing to read, especially now. -- Jennifer Szalai * New York Times Book Review * Editors' Choice * The New York Times Book Review * Powerful and inspiring -- Nina Burleigh * Air Mail * Magnificently cathartic...a reminder of the power and importance of taking a position, asserting your rights and expressing them forcefully - and that we can take strength from these positions, appreciate them, disagree, and argue the nuances with equal force and passion. -- Hettie Judah * i newspaper * Burn It Down! sweeps through time and across the globe. -- Frankie Miren * New Socialist * Any Gender Studies professor who isn't teaching Burn It Down! is missing something important in their curriculum. -- Megan Volpert, <b>Best Books of 2020</b> * PopMatters * An essential text for any time, but especially this one. -- Jane Caputi * Journal of American Culture *
