Critics Review

Manifesta is a breath of fresh air. At last, Gen X takes on feminism and revamps a feminist manifesto for a new era. A jolt, a resource, a timeline, and a challenge, Manifesta is a readable, well-informed, and necessary to any young woman–or man–who craves gender equality.” –Naomi Wolf

”[The authors] have sorted out the fruits of this wave of feminism–intended and unintended, media mess and truth–for a new generation. With wit and honesty, Manifesta shows us the building blocks of the future of this longest revolution.” –Gloria Steinem

“Great news from the front–feminism lives! Bold, independent, generous, and cautionary, Manifesta leaves no doubt that for a new generation of women the F-word is not only speakable but shoutable and singable. To learn the tune and catch the beat, read this book.” –Alix Kates Shulman

Manifesta is another step toward the empowerment of women. If caring about women matters, this book matters.” –Andrea Dworkin

Manifesta was the inspiration for my movie The Itty Bitty Titty Committee. This brilliant book continues to inspire me with its fierce call to justice. A must read for anyone wanting to understand our history and a call to arms for the fights ahead!” –Jamie Babbit, director, But I’m a Cheerleader

“Manifesta was my bible in college–and beyond. I carried it with me everywhere.” –Katie Cappiello, writer/creator, SLUT: The Play and the Netflix series Grand Army

Manifesta changed my life.” –Nancy Redd, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author

“Bold feminist literature then and just as relevant now. An inspiration for a new generation of social justice activists. With a voice that is smart and relatable, this book is fuel for the revolution as we persevere in the fight for equality 20 years later.” –Kimberly Culmone, Senior Vice President, Design Barbie and Fashion Dolls

“A reasoned and passionate call to action and an exciting how-to guide for both burgeoning and seasoned Third Wave feminists.” –Eleanor J. Bader, Library Journal
