Take Back the Fight

Am excellent overview of the Canadian feminist movement and the challenges for it, due to both the particular social contexts and the lack of movement organization. Loreto, who has herself been a target of the misogynist far right, details example after example of ad hoc feminist actions and their ultimate failure to deliver systemic change, all the while opening feminism to appropriation and derision by proponents of the status quo (or even regression). While stopping short of providing a road map for feminists, Loreto clearly outlines the lessons we need to take into account as we regroup.
